We launched our next writing unit during our ELA time this morning. This unit of study will see the kids working on an opinion research topic. To lay the groundwork for future lessons, the fifth graders read an article about pet ownership and then used a graphic organizer to practice the skill of supporting one's' opinion with ample evidence. This was a productive lesson that the fifth graders were engaged with throughout.
Our math time was spent focused on refining our use of the standard algorithm to solve multiplication problems. Some of the students have this skill mastered, while others are working diligently to practice this method. I was impressed with the perseverance that was in evidence. We will continue with this work tomorrow.
