The fifth graders completed a series of comprehension questions pertaining to A River Ran Wild during our ELA time. The students worked well together to craft meaningful responses to these questions. This transitioned into an activity in which the fifth graders will be responsible for creating a time line of events that we read about in the story. This work will continue later this week.
Earlier in the school day, the fifth graders began a multi-step word problems in small groups. The students will be responsible for formulating a complete answer for this problem and representing their thinking on a piece of poster paper. Today was a positive day in terms of laying the groundwork for future success. I look forward to see the groups return to this lesson during tomorrow's math time.
On Thursday, the fifth graders will host visiting teachers from the middle school. We are fortunate to have some of the world language instructors come into M102 to talk more about their subjects. Students will have an opportunity to hear more about the languages offered next year and will get to ask questions.
