Try number two!  I hope my pictures show up this time!!!! On a Saturday of course!   This week we started our insect unit!   We practiced close reading using the Fly Guy Presents Insects book.  We started with a schema chart.  As we read this and other texts we confirmed our schema and added to our new learning.  I'm surprised they only had two misconceptions!  We spent two days reading this book and creating our chart.

We used construction paper and paper from our scrap bin to create these
