Metacognition

WOW!!!  That is one big word!  We spent out week last week working on that word and discussing what it means.  Metacognition is thinking about our thinking.   We are working on reading the text plus thinking about what we are reading to create real thinking!  It was a lot of fun.  Each day we did a different activity to help us think about our thinking while Mrs. Hendershot read us a story.  One day the students used a marker board and had to draw or write their thinking on it and then we would share.  Another day we did an understand and don't understand sticky note poster on the board.  It was great to see how much they think about a story.  Ask your child about all these activities!!
