| Small feedback group. |
We've been busy these past few weeks! In writing we're been working on feedback and revision. The kids are giving feedback whole class, small group, and one on one. We try to revise (whole group) one piece a week. I make copies of the piece. We highlight parts we really enjoy. We attach a feedback form where we evaluate whether the piece has all the parts, something we enjoy, and then a place where we can ask questions, or give a suggestion. Then the author sorts the feedback. If a few people say it could use, for example, adjectives, then we pull a small group adjective group to see where the featured author could place adjectives in the piece. The feedback group then brainstorms with the author. As of now, I'm running these groups. I haven't released them, but I am seriously amazed at how great the feedback is that the kids are getting. And I'm so impressed with how the authors view the feedback. They love it! GO GROWTH MINDSET!
We've also been working on text features and actually assembling informative articles. I also made QR code scavenger hunts that the groups use iPads to search for text features.
In math we've continued with the fun of scavenger hunts by searching for plain and solid shapes around the room. We've also been focusing on different types of comparison math problems.
In science we've had a lot of excitement, discovery, and learning working on our Waves: Light and Sound Next Generation Science Unit where the kids have been learning about light and sound. If interested in the product link it is below:
I can't believe we only have a few months left!
