We had the best day! This morning we had time for math, Eng Tech and Northeast research Students got into groups by their state and "fact checked" their research notes. This gave us an opportunity to fix/double check anything that might be wrong, and share interesting facts. After lunch during Reader’s Workshop, we read some nonfiction text in our Time for Kids magazineand completed our TFK wiki assignment. We also had time to “book shop” for more just right books. After we filled in our planners, we even had time for Science!
