Reading Workshop
 * __ Linking Prior __**

*Math assessments - 2nd page #6. This problem is beyond the learning goals. Use that problem to see where the kids are.
 * __ Discussion __**

* Putting the numbers in order is an end of the year goal, so keep working on it. This is harder for some kids.

* Kia and Jody expressed a concern about how their students struggled with the naked number sentences. Carrie informed us about a center that she incorporated this week. She had the students roll a set of dice and use the rolled number to create equations and solve them.

* Carrie did not let her kids use manipulatives on the last fruit problem on the EOU. Should she go back and redo the problem?

* Chris is concerned if this assessment is really truly the students' independent work or if the students were coached. Directions should be read along with problem and then stand back and let them work. No help should be given. Do not remind them to show their counting or record what strategy they used.

*If everyone fails a questions and struggles with it, we need to look at the question. Maybe we need a better question. We can't get that data if they are coached on the problem. *You can ask for clarification and have the students show you what they did. *Hiding Assessment - On the AMC anywhere web page click on downloads and scroll to **linking assessments to instruction**.
