We continued to read deeper into Bud Not Buddy today. Students have been using their 3-step journals and other close reading strategies to better comprehend the text. The class discussions have been great to this point. I also think that the reading groups have been working very well together. We ended our reading on a cliff hanger moment today, so the fifth graders are eager to progress into the story to find out what happens next.
Earlier in the day, members of 312 began to use fraction number lines to play an educational game with one another. Students have been making steady progress to this early point in the fractions unit and today was another productive day.
I look forward to meeting with parents and guardians during tonight's conference time.
I also wanted to ask all parents and guardians to please donate boxes of tissues to room 312. It is only December, yet we are already running out of our supply. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
