Reading: Reading response
Our strategy of the week was compare and contrast. We are finished with inference. The kids did SO well on this unit that we took 20 minutes this week to play boardgames. Sometimes I think the kids get frustrated with reading and think that they can't do it. This was a great ego boost! We are now going to work on similes and metaphors during our daily reading review time.

Vocabulary: The kids got their week 16 words today. The test will be a week from Monday. I will be updating the wiki with the new words over the weekend.
