We launched our next unit of writing during our ELA time. The fifth graders are going to be looking at the effects that zoos have on wildlife. This will eventually culminate in an opinion piece concerning the best place for animals to live out their lives. We looked at a video about the efforts of workers at the Phoenix Zoo to save the Arabian Oryx.
The focus of our work in math was on comparing the values of fractions. The kids were partnered and were tasked with creating a number line using fraction cards. They then turned their attention to a few workbook pages.
Tomorrow, we will continue our work with opinion writing and fractions.
