Text to Text

We are awesome at making text to text connections!  We were reading this book yesterday,

and read the sentence, "And with that, the wind turned cold and the sky became dark.  The first snowflake fell."

Four first grade hands went up in the air to comment that the sentence was similar to a line in our poem from last week.   In First Snowflake, we read, "Snowflake, Snowflake blowing into town..." 

We made the connection that each text was about the first snow of the season.

WOW!
