The fifth grade began to narrow their focus on specific Native American cultural regions. Students are going to start learning about the day-to-day life of indians in different parts of the continental United States. This will lead into a final project that will allow me to ascertain what students have learned over the course of the first few weeks of school in social studies.
Students continued their work representing multiplication problems using pictures, words and different methods. I am proud of my students for stepping out of their comfort zones and making attempts to solve these problems using methods that they may be initially uncertain of. We continue to make great progress during our math lessons.
Finally, room 312 began to discuss the book A River Ran Wild by Lynne Cherry. This book looks at the changing conditions of the Nashua River and ties in nicely with our overall theme of clean water. This week will be spend discussing and writing about the book, leading to a writing component on Friday.
