Reading/Tech Buddies

Today students of room 15 worked with Mrs. Miller's class and taught her students proper routines when using the Chromebooks.  Once the 5th graders taught the 3rd graders how to take computers from the cart and turn them on, the 5th graders taught them how to login and use their Google Drive.  The 5th graders also taught how to start a new Google doc, how to rename a file, and how to add new folders.

In writers' workshop, students added thinking to their memoir plan.  Students put their plan into a page protector and used a wet erase marker to write their thinking on the page protector. This activity physically shows how memoirs have multiple layers.    Tomorrow's lesson will focus on different ways to start and hook their audience.  At this point, many students are very ready to begin their draft.  Your child should be able to explain to you their memoir and what they learned about themselves from the memory they picked.
