Drop Everything And Write

Our school held a Drop Everything And Write morning on Friday, January 18th. Classrooms were paired up and older students acted as peer coaches to help younger students become more confident in answering open response questions.  Our class was paired up with Ms. Gendron's fourth grade class, and it was an amazing experience to observe and help facilitate. The students loved working together and learning from each other. The goal was for students to be able to restate the question, include three to four details, use transition words, use correct capitalization and punctuation, and write an ending statement. Ms. Gendron's students were wonderful role models and peer tutors, and the students in 2E were all actively engaged in the lesson! Here are a few pictures!
