That’s where we read a book and wrote questions and connection down on paper. For example I read How The Stars Fell Into The Sky. And if I had a question I could write it on the question side. If I had a connection I would Write it on the connection side. We did this activity so when we read books we can really think about it.

An idiom is a type of figurative language. When you say an idiom, you shouldn’t literally do it. Miss Cohn taught us a trick to remember idioms. Idiom sounds like idiot and when you literally do a idiom, you look like a idiot. I’m sure you’ve heard this idiom before, Let’s hit the road! It doesn’t mean actually go out and hit the road. It means let’s go. That is the mini- lesson about idioms. ]]> 2017-02-03 21:19:42 UTC https://padlet.com/trish_cohn/8y0pp04jm2by/wish/151569462 Amelia https://padlet.com/trish_cohn/8y0pp04jm2by/wish/151570428 We went to the Field museum and money museum.
