Our Schema

During readers' workshop this week we learned about SCHEMA. Our schema includes all the ideas that stick to our brains.... ideas learned from books, families, websites, conversations,  TV, and any other life experiences that mold us. We found out that our schemas are all different because our experiences are different. Our schema will influence how we comprehend as we read.  We enjoyed writing and drawing about ideas we have a lot of schema for. Then, using a sticky lint roller, we "picked up" our ideas to show them "sticking" to our brains. The kindergartners picked one area they really have a STRONG SCHEMA for and shared that idea below.
