I wanted to begin todays post by paying a compliment to my class. The mid-unit assessments went very well. I was so pleased to see the results the students produced. I am not surprised to see these good scores, it is a compliment to the hard work the students have put into their studies to this point.
We ended yesterdays class by discussing a working definition and some vocabulary terms pertaining to division. Today we officially kicked off our work with division. Students were tasked with solving a problem with pictures and a story context. Tonights homework will be a continuation of the work began in class.
Later during our reading block, the fifth grade started to read The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind. This final anchor text in our clean water unit will serve to better inform students in their opinion writing work that will be ongoing throughout the next few weeks.
Finally students are wrapping up their work with native american regions during social studies. Students have been creating some visually impressive slide presentations on their iPads. I would ask families at home to engage their children and ask them what they have learned while researching their tribes.
