Text to World Connection

My group of two students that come from Mrs. Dermady and I have been reading a new book titled, Rules. We have been discussing vocabulary and learning many new words and terms. One of the words is broach. When we were discussing it, Bella said that her mom had some broaches at home. One week later after vacation and after I thought those words would be a distant memory for my students, Bella brings in a box of broaches. I was so pleased and impressed with her text to world connection that I had to praise her and take her picture for the world to see.
