Learning is more fun when you get to work with your friends! The 4th and 5th grade students in my walk-to groups are working on the comprehension skill of making predictions. I decided to add in some writing practice this week. The students were seated in groups and given several dice with pictures on them. Together, they used these pictures as prompts to create a story. Each student would write for one minute, then move the paper to the next person. Their creativity definitely shined in this activity as the stories were exciting to read!
The 3rd graders are working on cause and effect. After writing different causes and effects from situations given to them, they had to work together to match statements. It was fun to see them problem solve to reach a goal!
