We revisited text-to-self connections on Thursday using a great book--The Relatives Came, by Cynthia Rylant. In this book, a family takes a road trip to visit relatives far away. Great times happen when the relatives get together, but it sure is hard to say goodbye! Students made wonderful, meaningful connections to this book. They had the choice to write or draw their connections on a poster. They worked in small groups and did excellent work! Making connections is a comprehension skill we will continue to work on in reading. Next week we will focus more on text-to-text connections.
