In Math Workshop today, we worked on our Unit 2 Math Review. We did odds in class, evens are for homework. Only problems with stars next to them are homework--we only did half of the review today. We will complete the rest tomorrow. Remember, our test is this Friday! :)
In Writers' Workshop, we compiled all of our target learning goals from our personal narrative anchor chart to create a checklist (or rubric). Students will go through this check list first by themselves, then their partner will review their writing, and finally, I will review their writing and provide feedback. Your child's published personal narrative and this checklist and feedback will come home as students complete this process.
In Read Aloud, students payed close attention to Contrasts & Contradictions as well as character thinking and dialogue to infer ideas about characters and relationships.
In Word Study, students learned a new "generalization", one we adults are familiar with: i before e, except after c.
In Readers' Workshop, students payed close attention to what characters do to grow ideas about them. They then used their notebook to further extend their thinking about characters.
Students went to reading Beaver Block today. Ask them what reading strategies they worked on!
In Social Studies, students worked in groups to create "headlines" to quickly explain different points of view regarding Christopher Columbus.
