Fact or Opinion

During Daily 5 time, I assigned the class a fact and opinion activity.  They did a good job sorting facts from opinions.  The part they struggled with was to tell me how they knew something was an opinion.  "I just know" was a response I heard more than once.  To help with this we highlighted key words such as 'I think', 'you should', 'is the best/worst'.  Ask your child to tell you a fact and opinion for the day.  It will help him/her practice this skill and as a bonus, you'll learn about the day!
