Today in readers' workshop, students are working on a summarizing strategies. We are using a strategy called SWSBST. This strategy is best used with fiction. The acronym stands for Somebody wanted something..., But...., So..., Then....; (Finally, we added that). Once students identified those parts of the story, they wrote a short 5 sentence summary in their readers' notebook. We will continue to use this writing/reading strategy in the upcoming weeks.
In math, we continued our comparison of different division strategies. We are introducing long division and comparing it to the other division strategies students already know. Eventually we will be using only traditional long division as it is most efficient.
