In Ms. Amanda Hernandez's blog, she explained that Mentor Text is a great way for students to learn sentence structure and encourages them to think, instead of memorizing the rules of grammer. She also likes that it focuses on the right way of writing and not focusing on the wrong. I believe that mentor text is a great approach to teaching sentence structure, by having the students pick out a sentence and pointing out the different parts of it.

I thought Ms. Amanda Hernandez's blog on Daily 5, is a great idea for teachers to use in helping the individual needs of students.  The video on EdTech Workshop, under "Daily 5" showed us the right and wrong way of reading a book. The right way is to quietly pick a book and sit down to read. The wrong way in reading is making lots of noise and fidgeting. She is hopeful that teachers will use these checklist.
