Students are hard at work on their literary essays during our ELA block. Yesterday, the fifth graders work to craft opening paragraphs that captured their purpose for writing. Today, the members of room 312 worked to create supporting body paragraphs. As always, I very much enjoyed getting to conference with my writers in small groups settings.

Earlier in the day, mixed numbers continued to be the topic of the day during math class. Students have been working hard over the last few weeks and the progress has been great to see.

I also wanted to thank Crocodile River Music for coming in and performing with the students. They had a blast.

Homework
