Today was a big writing day for the members of M102. The fifth graders were able to look at many sources of information pertaining to our topic (both hard copies and online). The students are looking to supplement their point of views with meaningful evidence. I was impressed with the diligence that was on display in class and commend my students for staying on topic throughout the session.
Earlier in the day, we worked to identify state capitols during social studies. The students worked well together and impressed me with their level of background knowledge.
