Today, the students were put to the test. Many strategies that we have been practicing for reading and vocabulary are coming full circle. We had our first vocabulary test in which all questions were written as a fill in the blank sentence question. This is an incredible opportunity for them to practice using context clues to help figure out the answer and what was really great, is they recognized it and told ME! Now, I know...they really get it. After the test, students were presented with a short excerpt written with a bunch of non-sense words to prove that if they can hunt and find the context clues, they can figure out the meaning of ANY word and they did it! MASTERY :)
Happy Thursday!
