During reading strategy

Dear Diary,

Today my teacher told us about the during reading strategies.

1. Make connections.
2. Stop and go back to see what you just read.
3. Stop and skip the word you don't know and come back to see if the word makes sense.

I will use these to be a better reader.

Reading Strategies

Dear Diary,

I started reading when I was little. But I never knew this till my teacher told me.

1. Think of a reason why you want to read.
2. Find a book that fits that reason.
3. Think about what you already know about the book.
4. Look at the pictures and predict what the book is about.
   

I will use these strategies and be a better reader.

Dear Diary

Today was fun. We wrote about what happened in out lives. I wrote about my trip to Florida. I was still writing when it was time for lunch．But Ms. Roshan said that we could finish after lunch. Then we went to lunch. When we came back, we only had fifteen minutes left before we packed up and went to art.

In art, we drew pictures of butterflies. When we were finished, I went to Bar-T. In Bar-T I went to the gym. After that my mom picked me up.

My note

Dear Mom and Dad,

I am glad that you came. I am going to learn about butterflies this year. I am going to be a better reader. We are going to learn how to add 3 digit numbers. I am going to do better art. I will do better in music. I also will do better in P.E. I am very happy to be in second grade.

Love,

Sarah

Dear Diary

Now my mom will type my blog for me because I don't write good.

Today is back to school night. I wrote a note to my parents at school. After that we went to lunch and recess. When we got back, some of us were not finished. So we let them finish. Then we went to PE. I jogged today. When we got back, we packed up.

I think my teacher will tell my parents how good I have been tonight.

Dear Diary,

Today I went to release the turtles. I threw my turtles in the lake near the mall. When the turtles landed, they were flipped over. But soon my turtles got back to normal.

Then Dad and I went to WalMart to buy filters. There we got Cheeto's too. When we left we went to the gas station. When we finished, we went back home.

We cleaned up the basement

Dear Diary,

Today I went out to our deck to blow bubbles. After that, I went inside to clean up the basement. But, Kathy and I really wanted to play. Kathy was sleeping on the floor. I was writing my diary on my spin chair. Dad was cleaning the laundry room. Then he put the trash out.
I drew a picture of the sea with my stickers. Then I played some more.
