Today in Readers' Workshop, students independently made quality prediction and thick questions based on character traits. We used a book called The Sweetest Fig to analyze the character and write about how the story was going to unfold. By thinking about character traits, students were able to make bold predictions that were accurate. Effective readers use these strategies and today I let students take more of the learning.
In Writers' Workshop, students used thesauruses to revise their memoir. Our goal was to be more precise with our language. The online thesaurus helped many students to accomplish this goal.
In math, students are learning the traditional algorithm for multiplication. Today we practiced two digit by two digit multiplication and compared it with partial products and the area model of multiplication. Many students agreed that they wanted more practice.
