NO HOMEWORK!

Our school-wide reward for filling the E.A.G.E.R. tube has been decided: NO HOMEWORK! That means not even reading tonight (of course, they can read if they want to :) ). 

In Readers' Workshop, student learned two strategies to help them put the problem of a story in a word or phrase. We call this strategy "Bumper Sticker" themes and topical themes. 







In Writers' Workshop, students used thought prompts to push and grow their ideas about text. These next few weeks, students will learn strategies and elements of writer's craft to help them write a literary essay. 

In Math Workshop, students are making sense of improper fractions. They're drawing fraction models to help them plot improper fractions on a number line. 

These past few days, students studied scarcity issues in the community and brainstormed a few possible solutions to solve these issues. We wrote letters to the mayor with our suggestions.
