Writing Workshop: Integrating Feedback

As a group we’ve provided feedback/suggestions to (nearly!) all of our young authors! They’ve been asked to use a different color pen to write notes to themselves on their first drafts about the changes they hope to make. Next, they

STEM: Water Tension & Cohesion

Today we learned about water tension and cohesion… words they might actually remember!  LOL!  Because people—when water molecules are about to break apart from their friends, THINGS GET TENSE!  We also showed lots of other “co” words that meant “together”
