Engage effectively in a range of collaborative discussions (one-on-one, in groups, and teacher-led) with diverse partners on grade 4 topics and texts, building on others' ideas and expressing their own clearly.

Look, we know your kids are chatting away in groups already, but this standard is still an important exercise. Make sure you're mixing up the groups, putting diverse students together, and encouraging them to work collaboratively. Everyone should be sharing and building on each thought and idea.
