See, Think, Wonder
We have been working on showing our thinking to help with comprehension while reading. Students were broken into 6 groups and given a different picture. Each group had to collaborate, communicate and use critical thinking skills to write down what they saw, thought, and wondered about their pictures.
Solving Muti Step Math Problems
On Friday, students were working in pairs on solving multi step word problems. Students were required to write an equation, number the steps, solve and check each problem.
