POEM OF THE MONTH

Backpack

On my back a pack I carry
In it, all my treasures.
It's what I need
So I can be
One class higher!

Crayons, ruler, scissors too,
And yes a little Elmer's glue
Paper, pencils, in my bag…
Wonder what made mom so sad?

Trapper keeper, nice and neat
Will it really stay this clean?

On my back a pack I carry
In it, all my treasures!

Today I'll be
Just watch and see
One class higher!

3. determine importance - figure out the most important ideas, themes, events, etc.

4. create images - visualize the descriptions in the text

5. ask questions - wonder why things are happening, and make predictions about what might happen

6. make inferences - draw conclusions about ideas that are stated or implied

7. synthesize - use summaries and retellings to put things together and see the whole
