SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

Colegio Dr. Roque Diaz Tizol is getting ready for our next Book Fair. We are very excited. We have lots of things to do, but it will be a good oportunity for the students to master new skills, learn teamwork and develop a strong sense of ownership in the fair. This will be their Book Fair and they will love it.

SHOW and TELL

This a technique for teaching the skills of public speaking. It is the process of showing an audience something and telling them about it. Sometimes you will bring the object from your home and some others your teacher will give you an object and ask you to describe it. There is no reason to get nervous because all you have to do is describe the object by indicating its color, what it is used for , indicate why it is special for you and how did you obtain it.
Next time that you hear that you have a SHOW and TELL don't panic take it easy, relax and do your best

SPELLING BEE STRATEGIES

The ability to spell is an important skill.Those that are able to spell words correctly develop more vocabulary and have more academic opportunities.It is not coincidence that most students who spell efficiently also recognize more words in reading and are better writers.
These are some study strategies for spelling. Use these steps to study.
1. Find a quiet place to study. Avoid watching TV, listening to music,and having other distractions while you are studing.
2. Say the word. Be sure you are pronouncing it correctly.
3. Say the letters of the word.
4. Pay special attention to syllables and special letter combinations, for example double vowels or consonants.
5. Close your eyes and see the words in your mind.
6. Focus your mind in the letters of the word.
7. Spell the word
8. Write the word.
9. Check that you have spelled the words correctly.
10. Keep a notebook of words you have trouble spelling.
11. Dedicate time to study your spelling everyday.

ENJOY THE PLEASURE OF READING

I exhort all my students to enjoy the pleasure of reading. When we understand the intention of the author the ideas that are fundamental and those that are not. We construct meaning and we capture the real sense of the text. Because reading is more than just recognizing written symbols. Reading is about understanding and fellings.

Read, read and read everything you can because a competent reader is capable to learn freely and idependently. Reading competence is knowledge that is always developing. It is never complete but is perfected by practice.

READERS BECOME GREAT LEADERS!!!
