The fifth grade began to read Bud Not Buddy during our ELA block today. Last week was spent giving students a background into the setting and time period of the novel. I am confident that students will enjoy this award winning novel. During today's lesson, room 312 read chapter 1 together using out close read strategies. Students were tasked with using their 3-step journal to better access the text. I enjoyed getting to hear my students read and the meaningful discussion that followed.
Earlier in the day, we continued to use clock faces to help us better understand fractions. Just over the last two weeks, I have noticed the fifth graders improving in their ability to explain the relationship of certain fractions. I also commend my students for continuing to ask questions when things aren't quite clear.
