Rounding decimals was the topic of the day during math class. The students continue to use number lines to better frame their thinking. Room 312 also worked in some adding and subtracting of decimals in as part of this lesson. A very productive math block.
Later in the day, the fifth graders explored the First Continental Congress during our social studies time. This momentous occasion inches us closer and closer to the onset of the Revolution. The students are beginning to make plans for their informational writing topic. Each student will be tasked with selecting a topic pertaining to the Revolutionary War and compiling research to write a paper.
We also continued to get deeper into Number the Stars. The fifth graders seem to be very much enjoying this novel.
