In Daily 5, the students continue to learn about the comprehension strategy "Inferring". Making an inference involves "reading between the lines" by using what you know to make a guess about what you don't know. Readers who make inferences use the clues in a text, along with their own experiences to help them figure out what is not directly said.
This week, we created a "Mystery Bag Inferences" wall in our classroom! Students chose a small item to put in their mystery bag, and wrote clues about their item. We have been having a blast trying to infer what each item is. At the end of the month students will have a chance to make a final guess before we open the bags to see if our predictions were correct!
Learning Centre 3's Got Talent!
