Ask Me About

What did you learn about birds today?  (Birds all have feathers, wings and lay eggs. Not all birds can fly.  Feathers help keep birds dry and warm.  Some birds have webbed feet to help them swim.  Some birds like to live alone, while others live in groups.  Birds can have different shaped beaks depending on what they eat.)

Ask Me About

Good readers visualize when they read.  What does visualize mean?  (Make a picture or movie in your head while you are reading.)  This helps students gain a better understanding of what they read.
