During our first official social studies lesson today, the fifth graders undertook an activity concerning a compass rose. Students were tasked with guiding a partner to a predetermined location on a map of the United States using directions from a compass. I thought that this was an enjoyable start to our year long exploration of social studies related topics.
The fifth graders also had one final lesson that tied into the nine core reading competencies that will frame our reading discussions this year. I appreciated how attuned to the lesson the students were.
The fifth graders were given permission slips for fifth grade patrols. If students are interested, a parent or guardian needs to sign the slip and return it to school. Slips should be returned by Monday September 18th. Patrols will start on Monday September 25. Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
