Deep thinking and a baby Sea Lion...

We used this video to practice making predictions and inferences today. These skills really help with comprehension. You can do activities like this at home.

I asked questions such as...
What do you think made that splash?
Why do you think the sea lion jumped onto the boat?Is there a way we can find out? 
Why do you think the sea lion barked?
How do you think the man felt when he discovered the sea lion?
What would  you do if you found a baby sea lion on your boat? Could  you keep it? Why or why not?



We then wrote about what we would do if we found a baby sea lion on our boat! The kids have become such wonderful thinkers and writers!
