Writers' workshop

Today in Writers' Workshop, we learned 2 different strategies for writing ideas.  One way is called 'Museum'; we chose a noun such as solar system and branched ideas about the topic.  A different strategy helped us think of times when we were a certain emotion. For example, a list of times we were scared.  We had fun sharing our lists.

In math, we worked on more area problems today. We practiced with fractional lengths.  Overall my mathematicians are become more efficient at solving area problems.
