Show, Don't Tell

In Writers' Workshop, we looked at our Read Aloud text, Goblins in the Castle.  We noticed how Bruce Coville uses "show, don't tell" to show his characters' emotions and feelings. The kids worked with their literacy partners to generate examples of show, don't tell for an emotion or feeling we frequently use in our writing.  We put these on chart paper (see below) so we can use this strategy today and everyday!  Following our mini lesson, we tried this out in our personal narratives.

In Math Workskhop, students used a hundreds grid to show and solve how to subtract.
