This week we finished our rotation and just began our last rotation before winter break. Our rotation days were:
- Writer’s Workshop: Students were able to edit/revise a writing piece they had already been working on, begin a new writing piece, or share their past writing with the class
- Blind Sort Test: Students tested each other on their spelling using the Blind Sort method.

Our next spelling test will be on Monday, December 18th!
