Take a Peek at Our Week!

In lang & lit, we finished up our work with our notice and note strategy, words of the wiser. We also started reading groups! Students worked hard to annotate while they read during groups in order to show their thinking right on the paper. Next week we will move on to our next notice and note strategy, memory moment.

Our buzz word challenge for October is up and running! Students are excited to use their buzz words....I can't wait to see how many stickers we can collect by the end of the month!

In writer's workshop we practiced writing RACCE responses using words of the wiser as a topic for two different texts. I've been conferencing with students during writer's workshop and I am so impressed with their progress with this strategy! We also learned how to use "round table reads" as a way to peer edit our work! For this routine, students read each other's work and left specific feedback for the author. Students then read over their feedback and made adjustments to their work. This is a routine that we will use all year long in writer's workshop!

In I&S, we learned how to use three different resources from our database page for research. Students practiced using World Book, Britannica World Atlas, and True Flix for our "Where To?' activity in which they were asked to find a new place for to relocate Hilton. They had to give specific reasons based on their research to support their answers. Next week we will begin to work on culture and identity!
