After reading the first two chapters of "Tales of a Fourth Grade Nothing" students started a persuasive commercial activity to promote a form of a drink that their group needed to invent. This activity is helping build students' group discussion skills and persuasive writing skills. The students were so excited about this activity! I can't wait to see how their commercials turn out!
We also worked in groups to meet our standard of "multiplying within 100." These centers provide students with practice and the opportunity to master their basic multiplication facts!
