We talked a lot about making connections this year. I taught them hand signals to use, to show me what kind of connection they would like to share. They are so good at it, and I love how after nearly every story we read, I see someone doing one of our signs, without being asked. :)

What a great idea!! I love using TPR (Total Physical Response) to help kids own the concept. Not only is this great for English Language Learners...but, it's just a great teaching strategy. I will definitely use this tomorrow. I've been working on teaching the reading comprehension strategy called "Spinner the Spider". This will accompany it nicely. Thank you for sharing!!
