To change things up, get some sunshine, and inspire writing about the playground, students wrote with the sky as their ceiling today.
Readers workshop had students summarizing and synthesizing their books. Synthesis, in this case, refers to the way the reader interacts with the meaning. Summary is more or less what happened. Synthesis requires readers to chime in with their ideas, opinions, and feelings.
Electromagnets
Some questions that arose as students carried out the lab
Homework
Math 4th grade fractions and bingo; 5th graders write about the Cookie Combos in your packet
Science: Draw and write about the electromagnets today. Writing should probably be about half a page. How does an electromagnet work?
Read: 20 minutes and write a paragraph that synthesizes the summary you wrote today (what ideas do you have about the book?)
