How Do We Create A Community At School?

Given your exploration of communities so far and your thinking around what the word 'community' means, what are some of the ways that we have created a community in our classroom / learning environment over the past 18 months?

Looking forward to reading at least 28 posts!!! ;-)

The Importance of Reading Non-Fiction Texts

This week we are continuing to focus on balancing out what we read so that we're reading as wide a range of texts as possible.  This includes non-fiction texts.

Comment on this post about why you think it is important to read non-fiction texts.  Give an example of what you are reading this week.

EXPANDING OUR VOCABULARY

WOW!!  I am loving reading your poetry and seeing the ways in which you are expanding and extending your knowlegde of more interesting vocabulary.

What are the resources and tools you have in and out of the classroom to help you extend your vocabulary? (Think about how you're using the Google Doc too as a support for vocabulary development).

What other things do you need to do to help develop your vocabulary?  (Think about reading a wider range of texts, etc).

What can you do on a daily basis in your learning - remember learning is in and out of school.

I'm also loving the discussion that's started on the Google Doc - keep that going too, alongside the vocabulary development.
