On Wednesday, students were introduced to two important parts of fourth grade: Reading Workshop and Math Workshop. We will do workshops every day for the entire year. This is a time for students to work independently, in small groups, and with teachers to develop their reading and math skills.
In reading, students learned to select books from the classroom library and "get lost" in their books during independent reading time. Soon, they will develop reading strategies and skills and work in guided reading groups.
In math, students practiced working in small groups and cooperating with each other. Each group was given "discovery time" with various manipulatives (math tools) they will use throughout the year.
We look forward to seeing all students excel during Workshop time!
Love,
Ms. Gomez and Ms. Krooss
