Global Real Aloud

This year we are participating in the Global Read Aloud.  We will be connecting with a classroom somewhere in the world who will also be reading this book.  By using this blog, we will respond to some questions and comments about the book.  We got a head start on the book today.   By using the padlet below, tell me what you think about it so far!   Double click on the padlet or click on the + at the bottom. Don't forget to include your name before your comment.  Click anywhere outside comment for it to save.

GROUP work

We do a lot of group work in class! 
Last week some examples of group work consisted of our Summer Reading Books, Math Workshop, and we did a Science Tools Safety Lab as well. Working with other students is a very important part of learning.   
Use the acronym, 'GROUPS' to remember some important ideas when working together. 
Get Along:We will not argue.

Respect Others: We will listen to everyone.

On Task Behavior: Are you doing your job? Are you on task?

Use Quiet Voices: Only your group should hear you. Participate: Do your part- don't let others do your work.  Stay in your group: Raise your hand, ask 3 before me!
