Today, we began our first whole-class novel of the year: The Absolute Value of Mike by Kathryn Erskine. We explored the covers, made some predictions, and inferred what the symbols on the front cover may represent.
We also talked about the tiny font on the Copyright page, and what some of the information represents (tiny numbers! book printings!). Then, we dove into a read-aloud for the first chapter to see Mike and his Dad and their relationship.
Our word for the day was Sputter, which means to spit out food, or to stutter or speak haltingly (usually with some emotion involved).
The homework is to study for our Vocabulary quiz on Wednesday. Have an awesome evening!
