Students in Mrs. Connelly's 4th-grade ELA and Writing class had an awesome literacy block this week! Students teamed up with their reading buddies to explore a Writing Choice Board focused on using strong transition words. They read together, discussed ideas, chose their activity, and then collaborated to revise their writing using smoother, clearer transitions.

So proud of their teamwork and creativity this week! #4thGrade #WritingWorkshop #TransitionWords #BuddyReading #StudentCollaboration
