10/25

Last week we learned about FQR charts. We use these to record facts, questions and responses (connections, opinions, inferences) that we have when reading non-fiction. Please read a non-fiction book for 20 minutes each night this week. Then, record the title and author and in the comment section. Finally, record either one Fact, Question or Response that you thought about while you were reading. I've done one for you to use as an example. Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Ann Earle One fact I learned was that bats eat 1/2 their weight in bugs each night. Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Ann Earle One question I had while I was reading was, do all bats use echolocation? Zipping, Zapping, Zooming Bats by Ann Earle I can't believe that bats can tell the differences between food and buildings just by using echolocation. That's so cool!

    I am still reading Squirrels by J. Ciovacco. The fact I found about squirrels is that they belong to the rodent family and that they have long, sharp front teeth. I think it is really cool that squirrel's teeth are always growing. I am curious about why squirrels need an excellent sense of smell.

I learned that Albert's school had to wear school uniforms and march like a soldier to each classroom, Albert called his teachers sergeants because they were so strict, Albert got expelled from high school because he asked the teachers questions that the teachers couldn't answer.
