To begin spider week we talked about how a KWL helps us set a purpose for reading. On the head of our anchor chart spider I wrote what the students already Know about spiders. On the body I posted questions about what we Want to know. The class had a lot to share about spiders which got our minds thinking before reading. I introduced the nonfiction book Spiders by Gail Gibbons to the class. They did a wonderful job stating the text features that make this book nonfiction. After reading the story the class gave eight facts that they Learned and we posted them on the spider legs. I am so impressed with what the students know about reading nonfiction text. We reviewed verbs and adjectives together as a class. Each student got a spider card to share. They read their card and put it on the verb or adjective web. After brainstorming a list of spider adjectives and verbs the students wrote their own spider poem. We read a few spider poems together as a class and then partner read them to build fluency.
