Thanks 4th Graders for supporting Becky in the cafeteria by choosing Edamame for the taste test, prepping it for 752 students to try and making table top fact sheets about Edamame! All of this while also completing their FINAL SBAC tests! Yahoo. We have two friends who are busy with make-ups but the rest of us are done! We will celebrate with other 4th and 5th Graders on Friday with an extra recess and treat!
Thank you Tia for starting to share about your adventures in Costa Rica and Panama! We all had so many questions and were so interested in the wildlife and amazing lands!
Our classroom has started Book Clubs! Students are using the FAB 4 Model to record Predictions, Wonderings,Vocabulary needing Clarifying and Summaries of their reading assignments. Students are reading one of 3 Jean Craighead George books titled O
ne Day in the Desert, Prairie or Tundra! One day students complete the reading assignments and the next day the land in their small groups for meaningful conversations. They then use progressions to reflect on how well they were prepared for their discussions, they types of questions they asked, their safe, responsible, and respectful behavior and lastly their ability to stay engaged and on topic for at least 20 minutes! The hope is that thru these Book clubs students can learn about a biome, learn how to use the Fab 4 strategy to stay engaged in their reading and how to productively have a conversation about a shared piece of text! We can all learn from one another and together we are smarter!
