Essential Question: Are my reading comprehension skills improving?

Yesterday, after being first in line at the polls, taking pictures at the pep rally for the news show, attending a faculty meeting, and working on a smartboard lesson, I forgot to add to my classroom blog for only the second time since its inception. Today we will continue to practice and refine our reading comprehension skills. We will also discuss the use of idioms through the use of the aforementioned SmartBoard lesson.
