Throwback Thursday Tomorrow

In Readers' Workshop, students worked with their literacy partner to closely read The Other Side, by Jacqueline Woodson.  As they read, students identified characters' actions.  After, students picked the action that they thought was the most indicative of the main character.  They thought critically about this action to help them infer ideas about said character.






 In Writers' Workshop, students added back and forth dialogue to keep their readers engaged.  See a sample below.

In Word Study, students learned a new word we can use to describe people and characters, sympathetic. 


In Math Workshop, students studied basic facts and their extensions, noticing patterns to help them quickly solve problems in the hundreds.

In Social Studies, students explored the responsibilities of citizens.  They use the visible thinking routine, "I used to think... Now I know..." to reflect on their learning.
