Isn't this lovely? So today we have gone to some helpful places for creating graphic organizers. I wonder if my school has "Inspiration." I could definitely see my students getting into it. I don't think I use enough graphic organizers, but I hope to start using more now that I know how easy it is to create them.

Another helpful activity we did was with the story book and making predictions. At first I thought the lesson was kind of boring, but after making the prediction I found myself pretty excited when I discovered that my predictions were correct. If I can get excited over something like that, I know my students will. Making predictions is something that I have my students do, but I think I need to do more of it. It really does help the student stay engaged through the reading. Well, until tomorrow...
