With open communication between highly qualified staff and concerned parents in the community, we will ensure that each student is being challenged in a way that will prepare them for their future. Our School Mission: Ethan H. Shive Elementary School is dedicated to being an exemplary school that will be recognized and remembered for its honor, integrity, value, and excellence. Your child is learning how to take a reading selection and answer questions by using the following easy steps. If each child learns how to do it and use it correctly, then reading and answering questions will be a breeze!! Encourage your child to use the same steps at home when reading a selection and answering questions. UNRAAVEL for Reading 1. Underline the title 2. Now predict what the selection is about 3. Run through and number the paragraphs 4. Are you reading the questions? 5. Are the important words circled? 6. Venture through the selection--READ IT! 7. Eliminate/cross out the silly or wrong answers 8. Let the questions be answered and write the paragraph number and line number where you found the answers next to the question. Larry Bell's 12 Words to EOG Success! All Stingers have been learning these words and practicing them each morning with the announcements! Ask your child to show you! 1. Trace - outline 2. Analyze - break it down 3. Infer - read between the lines 4. Evaluate - judge 5. Formulate - build to create 6. Describe - tell all about it 7. Support - back it up 8. Explain - tell me why 9. Summarize - the short version 10. Compare - things that are alike 11. Contrast - things that are different 12. Predict - think about the future These 12 words are CRUCIAL for your child to learn. 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders need to know how to spell them, tell what they mean and how to use them when reading, answering questions and solving problems. Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd graders are learning them as well to be better prepared for the EOGs beginning in 3rd grade! |
