What's happening this week?

Students in 4Coleman are evaluating the exemplar writing sample for a grade four
open response question and discussing inferences.

Grade 4 students are discussing the character traits of "Rob" and finding evidence in the text to support their claims.  Some ideas included that Rob was friendly, because he would share his thoughts with others and give others things and others thought "Rob" was compassionate, because he didn't want the tiger to die, while still others thought he was sensitive since he cried a few times in the text.
