Comprehension Freebie

So....this came walking down the hallway towards me this morning.


I just knew it was a snake.

I hate...HATE snakes.

I usually think everything is a snake though...it's a totally irrational fear.  Sometimes I freak out about taking the kayak down to the water because I start thinking about snakes it the grass.

Thankfully it turned out to be a snail!


One of my students found it this morning and brought it to school because he thinks we need a class pet.

I think we need a class pet like I need a hole in my head.  I tried a goldfish a couple of years ago and it was disgusting.  It just wouldn't die so I "donated" it to the front office.  It ate all the other fish in the fish tank so my Principal flushed it down the toilet.  She'd rather have no fish than a monster alpha goldfish.  That thing could have survived the apocalypse.

Any thoughts on hermit crabs?  I occasionally consider trying that one out, until I remember someone has to take care of it...that someone being myself.

The whole point of this post was to share with you a comprehension questioning freebie!  This year my test data is indicating a little trouble with comprehension so that it what I'm focusing on for my IPDP (Individual Professional Development Plan).  I started researching questions that parents could use at home and was getting mostly just basic recall, explicit questions.  I used a few of the resources I came across to develop something with a little more substance.



These comprehension questions are available in my TpT store for FREE!  Check them out and let me know what you think?!
