Reading: Rattlers!

Theme: Slithery Snakes! Ssssss...What words come to your mind when you hear the word snake? Some answers the classes came up with are: slimey, scales, dangerous, venom, pets, etc. This expository story, Rattlers!, informs us all about rattlesnakes...who knew that there are so many different kinds of rattlesnakes!!! I really found it interesting that you cannot tell a rattlesnake's age by the number of rattles it has on its tail...what was your favorite fact from the story? 


    This week, we're working on main idea and supporting details. By finding the important details in the story, you can see what they have in common, which will then lead you to the main idea of the story...cool huh?

Remember: When we find out the main idea of the story, and the supporting details, we can combine all these together to form the summary of the story. Hope you enjoy this story, and if you answer my question, you can earn a treat, no tricks here!

Here is your vocabulary and games for the week...ENJOY!
