Practice PAT tomorrow for LA part A
LA PAT Part A next Wednesday All morning

Today the students began their day by working through a difficult Area Problem as seen below...


Alongside solving this problem students had to prove their work with another strategy and write a connection to another unit.

In LA we spent one hour reviewing and giving feedback to peers. We are writing another practice PAT tomorrow and students gave growth feedback to support each other for tomorrow. We used two checklists to support the feedback provided to students.

In the afternoon we practiced writing plans for stories based off a picture prompt. I emphasized to the students that you need to plan a story before starting to write for best success. We also reviewed the six traits of writing including:
1. Ideas
2. Organization
3. Voice
4. Sentences
5. Vocabulary
6. Conventions

Good luck tomorrow everyone!
