These readers have been writing SCRs about the central idea of a text. Today, they partnered up to decide the BEST piece of evidence to support their central idea. I was so impressed by their conversations and reasoning!

4th graders completed a gallery walk of mentor opinion essays noticing what they did “well”. Students were blown away to know that the essays were from past 4th graders at @BrightAcadFISD 🤩

I CANNOT wait to see these come to life!! Thanks for helping create a way to extend our research on inventors. At dismissal I heard “mom I learned Tinkercad today for 3D printing” ☺️😍
