Students are hard at work putting the finishing touches on their personal opinion writing pieces. As we prepare to move on to our next writing unit, I wanted to mention that I was impressed with the level of engagement that my class put into their writing. Students wrote with passion about topics that are important to them. I look forward to turning our attention to literary writing.

Grade 5 continued to work in small groups during our math class. Fifth graders have been playing some challenging games to organize and name decimals. Tomorrow we will be taking an assessment to gauge the progress of the students to this point in the unit.
