Important Items Only...

Yes, folks, it's my purse and the contents (minus the phone that I am using to take a picture).  We are going to focus on what's important as we read (mostly informational text).

The scenario was another teacher and myself walking after school...what items do I need to have?

Their ideas...

My wallet...so no one steals it.
My watch...so I know what time it is.
My water...so I can get a drink.
My sunglasses...in case it's sunny outside.
My Kleenex...enough said.
My key card...so I can get back in.
My granola bar...in case I get hungry.

What you see above the smaller pile is what wasn't necessary.

I'm excited because this photo will help build our determining importance unit for the rest of the year!
