In groups, students came up with their own rules for the divisibility of those numbers. Students came up with unique strategies and methods for these rules. In Science, they learned about finding reliable news articles and how to summarize them by finding the key points. They will be learning reading strategies for 'DETERMINING WHAT IS IMPORTANT' in the near future, which will help them improve their summarizing skills. Later in the afternoon, students continued working on their 'SCARY STORY' writing assignments.
