Race for Education Tomorrow: Wear Purple!

In Math Workshop, we completed the rest of our Unit 2 Review.  Again, students have starred problems for homework tonight.  After, we play Math Jeopardy, where students had to collaborate and work in teams to respond to and show their thinking regarding multi-step problems.  See our contestants below.

In Writers' Workshop, students used the checklist/ rubric we created together yesterday based on our lessons to revise and edit their typed personal narrative.  Some students also engaged in peer feedback, depending on where they are in the writing process.

In Read Aloud, students payed close attention to character actions to infer ideas about characters and relationships.

In Word Study, we played a purposeful Word Study game, "Letter Spin!". In this game, students must apply their lessons to spell, define, and convert to plural or add a suffix to words in their word bags (we created these today).  Words in students word bags are: prefer, strategy, infer, laboratory, emergency, return, cancel, birthday, travel, engage, accept, give, excel, respect, egotistical, assertive, sympathetic, irritable, field, receipt, ceiling, receiver, retriever, and friends.

In Readers' Workshop, students used charts in their notebooks to help them identify the most effective evidence for proving a character claim.

Students went to reading Beaver Block.

In Social Studies, students continued their work on their Christopher Columbus headline projects depicting different points of view in history.
