Today we worked on Capitalization in grammar, focusing on proper nouns and the students learned a little capitalization tool MINTS (Months, the letter I, Names, Titles, Start of Sentences). In reading we read chapter 13 of Because of Winn-Dixie independently and students wrote predictions for the book. Predictions are an important component to comprehension, they can tell us how deep an understanding readers have of characters, plot, theme, and setting. In addition, students can later confirm or revise their predictions, and who doesn't like to feel like they were correct!
