Jeopardy!

In Writers' Workshop, we explored text features in "Time For Kids" and their respective purposes.  When we create our projects, we'll want to use some of these text features to help Riverside students read and understand our writing about our universities.

In Readers' Workshop, we used text features to help us understand as we used the internet to research and read about our universities.  In addition, we created our first text feature for our project, a map.  We used Google Maps to route and calculate drive time from Riverside to our Big Ten college.  We also used the "snipping tool" in Windows to take a screenshot of the map and route.  We'll include this map in our project.






In Math Workshop, we played Jeopardy to review for our Unit 3 Assessment tomorrow.

In Science, we used Javier Builds A Bridge to identify meanings of Tier III words (domain-specific words such as abutment, pier, arch bridge, etc.).

Homework:
  • Unit 3 Test Review (only do stars), due tomorrow
  • Read 20 minutes 
Reminders:
  • Unit 3 Math Assessment: Tomorrow
Classroom Supplies:
  • Sticky Notes:   We're still in need of sticky notes! Any donations are appreciated! Thank you so much to families who've already donated!
