Students freewrite in writer's workshop

In spelling we took our pretest and corrected them.
 
In writer’s workshop we did a freewrite that will be continued tomorrow. Freewriting is a teaching technique that allows students to write continuously without regard to spelling, grammar, or even topic.  It helps young writers to get in touch with their thoughts and ideas, rather than stopping to worry about mechanics.  It's sort of like brainstorming in print.  Frequently we use freewriting as an introduction to other pieces.

 
In science we finished testing our flyers.
