Tell K-Bug not to read the passage. Read the blurb first and then the entire intro and then the first two sentences of each paragraph then the conclusion. this is enough to answer the one or two main idea questions. The rest are all detail questions. Go back, scan just for the keywords. Read a couple of sentences around it for context then you'll be able to answer. For the detail questions, always check the passage.
Lori's pictures are so much better than mine end up being. But I'm happy to have both. I keep wanting to buy a new higher res camera.
Name Alert means that there are two babies with the same last name. So all of the twins have name alert, but if there were two Garcia babies not related, they'd have a name alert thing too. It reminds the nurses and docs to pay attention to orders, perscriptions etc. It's not just for the NICU, but all the floors use it.

Thanks Kat. I read that to her and her eyes lit up and she said "OK, thanks!".

It's a good thing to practice for a while because, for avid readers, it's hard NOT to read the whole passage. But usually the whole passage is too long and the detailed stuff TOO detailed to retain it. So why read it at all if you can get the gist for the one gist-y question.

I wonder if I should be concerned that as a reading teacher, I'm advising that kids SKIP reading.
So, WRT the magnet job I applied for and didn't get? I heard through the grapevine that I was the most qualified applicant, according to one of the people on the committee who interviewed. She also said that I seemed stressed out and in a hurry. This coupled with her telling me "confidentially" before I applied that I might want to reconsider applying because twins take up so much time and the job is demanding..... I kinda feel like I have a lawsuit or a grievance on my hands at the very least. And yet, I don't care enough to really pursue it right now.
Though, I got the principal's attention when I put in for a transfer.

She IS an avid reader. This is the child I refuse to buy books for anymore. We did go to the library today and she exchanged 3 novels.
