Did you know that if you were born on Febuary 29, you would only have a birthday once every fore year That’s because February 29 is part of the leap year. This is just too cool Normally February only has twenty-eigt days but every four years an extra day is added to the calender. Why do we need leap years Our calendar show how long it takes Earth to orbit the sun one time. this takes around 365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds--or aproximately 365 1/4 days--to complete. Too make sure the calendar matches up with Earths orbit around the sun, we add a extra day every four years. 1

6. Due Wednesday
Modeling the Technique
Close your eyes and see my words in pictures:
While I read, close your eyes and listen carefully, I thought about the words and I imagined what the characters looked like, what they were doing, and what their surroundings were like. Stay alert and think about what happens in the story. See if you can imagine the scene the words describe. Pretend you are making a movie; what would you see from behind the camera?
As you listen, when you hear describing words (adjectives) -- such as hot, red, musty, or quiet -- use those words to help paint pictures in your head.
quote from Where the Wild Things Are:
"That very night in Max's room a forest grew and grew and grew until his ceiling hung with vines and the walls became the world all around."
I imagined a window with a moon shining through it. Saplings began to sprout and quickly grew leaves and stems. (The scene was like those time-lapse photography images you see on the Discovery Channel.) I saw little vines spreading their tendrils down the walls and across the ceiling. Before I knew it, the entire room was green and leafy, and much darker than before. 6

7. What does it feel like to be hot. What shade of red a tomato might be
What does it feel like to be hot? What shade of red a tomato might be. How musty gym socks smell when they've been in a locker for three days. Concrete ideas and connect to prior knowledge. This is the thought processes you need to use when you read. Think about what characters smell, taste, feel, hear, and think. Good readers do that. This technique will help them remember what the story is about. Sharing Visualizations After reading the selection, share your images. Emphasize that everyone's visualizations will differ. If your images do not fit the words, question your images and adjust them. (This is another effective comprehension strategy.) Create images that reflect the words, encourage your classmates comparison/contrast discussions. Does this remind you of anything in your life? What do you think the dog looked like? Do you have a dog? How do you think this dog is the same as yours? Different? 7
