Teaching moment

Just started my substituting journey until I find my own classroom!!  I ventured into a second grade class the other day which was GREAT but was saddened at how little the classroom library was…L We had some time throughout the day so I read them one of my favorite books by James Marshall and Harry Allard.

 They loved the book and were intrigued the whole time. I got to have my own teacher moment with them to discuss drawing conclusions which they had not learned at all this year…L so I took a few minutes and discussed it with them. They loved to pick out the clues to help them draw their conclusion. This just reassured to me how important mentor text to help teach students. That spawns from my AWESOME mentor I had in my student teaching this last year…
