The fifth graders are hard at work on their literary essays. Students have been working to craft an essay that looks to focus in on an important theme or message from a short story. I have been impressed by the diligence students have shown while writing. As always, the writer's conferences that I have had with my students have been very positive. The students are making some nice progress.
During social studies, we turned our attention to the Mayflower Compact. This important document was a topic of discussion during our investigation into the landing of the Pilgrims in Massachusetts. Over the next few days, the fifth graders are going to put themselves in the shoes of the Pilgrims. They are going to be tasked with coming up with a set of rules/laws that they would want a new society to live by.
