Recording the Main Idea of a Text

Wow! These first graders are really good at thinking about reading! Today, coming up with the main idea of today's focus text, Ira Sleeps Over, seemed like a breeze to them! Below is the graphic organizer we used today to track our thinking. This graphic organizer was created on an iPad app called Tools 4 Students. It's a nice resource to have, as I can store our charts electronically. There is simply not enough room on our walls to hang everything, so this is helpful.
