The fifth graders continued their early exploration of decimals and representing them using different sized grids. These first two lessons in our decimal unit have been productive ones. Students are making connections between our prior work with fractions and creating a deeper knowledge base of which to draw on.
Later in the day, students were introduced to the newest novel that we will be reading together in class. Number the Stars by Lois Lowry is a book that I believe the students are going to enjoy. Today, we placed in the events of the book in a historical context and previewed some of the essential questions that will guide our reading.
