Students continued their work with conversions of measurements. Grade five has been working with both metric and standard units of measurement. Today we also began to discuss units of capacity and mass. I want to compliment my class on their continued hard work during math class. Room 312 has also been giving it their all when it comes to preparing for the upcoming math MCAS test.

Paul Revere remained the topic of conversation during social studies today. Students looked to gather as many facts as they could about this important event. Tomorrow we will begin to explore the Second Continental Congress.

During our writing block, students were tasked with crafting a literary essay about a short story from Cynthia Rylant. Prior to this writing assignment, students had a meaningful discussion about what they believed the author wanted to convey with this piece.
