Problem Solving
Over the past few weeks, you might have heard the words "short answer question" at home. This is because we have been working heavily on solving real world situations in math workshop. Students were introduced to the short answer rubric and throughout last week, practiced each category independently. To culminate this study, students used one math workshop to complete an entire short answer question on their own, from beginning to end. The next day, peers were asked to analyze and evaluate each other's work then participate in a discussion about strengths and areas of improvement.
Here is an example of a proficient short answer question.
Below are some pictures from the collaboration that took place during this activity!

What is magnetism?
As we end our science unit on force, students are exploring the invisible force of magnetism. Throughout these few days, students rotated to different stations that ranged from exploring different types of magnets to discovering what is magnetic. To continue this conversation at home, try to see what household items are magnetic. Have your student first predict, then test.
Below are a few pictures from these stations.
