Students were hard at work during math today. The fifth graders worked on a division compare activity, reviewed order of operation problems and finally ended the session by tackling a rather challenging volume problem. A busy period, but a very productive one.
Later in the day, the fifth grade continued their opinion piece on heroism. Students have been tasked with writing a piece in which they give their view of whether or not the young man William, from the book The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, was a hero no not. Students really took to this book and I have enjoyed getting to hear my students explain to the class what heroism means to them.
