Writing Process
This week, students in 3L completed part of the writing process. First, they brainstormed their thinking, then they completed an outline, next they wrote their first draft. After they completed their paragraph, they met with a peer and discussed what they could improve for their final copy. Students talked about the quality of the main idea, closing sentence and supporting details as well as transition words, sentence structure, and grammar. Next week, students will complete their second draft, taking into account the feedback from their peer edit, and finally they will use a rubric for a self evaluation / reflection before having a conference with Mrs. Largy.

GREAT strategy for bar models
Some students in our class have been using different colors to help them with bar models. The colors allows them to better see what each part of the bar model stands for in relation to the word problem. This is not required, but many students have said that it has helped them tremendously when solving two step real world application problems!
Way to go, Anesa!
Anesa has been working so hard to meet her AR goal and this morning her hard work paid off! Way to go!
