Happy Cinco de Mayo everyone!  Yesterday we read our leveled readers entitled Digging for Sue from the Unit 6 Week 3 Wonders Reading Series.  We then reviewed how to determine the main idea, main topic, and supporting details from the text.  Instead of using a worksheet, I had my students use this creative chips and salsa pattern to show me what they learned!  Students first wrote the main topic on their salsa jar.  Then, they wrote the main idea on one of the chips and three details on the other chips.  Once all of the chips were finished, they cut them out and glued them in their bowl so you can see what they wrote.  They then glued their salsa jar to their chip bowl.   My class had such a fun time making this activity and it looks so cute hanging in the room just in time for Cinco de Mayo!  I love how each one came out so different and unique!
