Every week, we love wrapping up our week by connecting our stories back to our essential question! 💭📚 I’ve especially loved this unit’s question. My kids have been thinking deeply, sharing thoughtful ideas, and really reflecting on what it means. ❤️

Having a fun first week back! Students played common ground countdown to see all the things they have in common with their table mates to build the tallest tower!

Students using @KaganOnline Quiz-Quiz-Trade to practice identifying how text features add information to a text! #RISDWEAREONE

@lovedeep819 @KaganOnline They were teaching each other and building trusting relationships. Higher-performing students reinforced their understanding by explaining concepts, while struggling students received immediate feedback. Traditional leaves a lot of room for misconceptions and slower feedback!

Today my students used the @KaganOnline strategy “Rally Coach” to review context clues! There was so much good learning and coaching going on! #risdbetheone
