IMAX, Math Games, and Writing Rubrics

IMAX
Our class watched Science Rocks in the gym on Monday, thanks to IMAX and Dean Williams for coordinating the event.

Math Games
To extend our unit on place value, rounding, and regrouping, we have added some math games to our math workshop time.  Students played Race to 100 using pennies and dimes on Wednesday.  This helps to reinforce the concepts in a fun way.  

Working through the Writing Process
We have been working a lot on our writing.  We have learned to brainstorm, draft, revise, and edit, as well as share our reading with a peer before we consider publishing.  On Tuesday, we used a 6-Traits Writing Rubric to peer edit.  On Wednesday, we took our journal / drafts to the computer lab to begin typing our final, publishable draft.
