We began the second to last month of the school year by undertaking one final lesson in math class that saw the students comparing the values of decimals. Using number lines and grids, the fifth graders continued the work that was begun last week. Tomorrow, the kids will take a quiz to track their progress in this important unit.
The topic of our social studies unit was the Proclamation of 1763. After completing a book about the French and Indian War last week, the fifth graders moved on to the next domino to fall on the road to the Revolutionary War. Using a short video and some maps, the students attempted to create a compromise that would have a avoided further conflict between Great Britain and the colonies. This work will continue tomorrow.
