We concluded a productive week by exploring a short story during our literary essay writing lesson. The fifth graders practiced using their annotation skills and answered some focus questions about this piece of writing. Next week the fifth graders will be exposed to a variety of short stories and will ultimately choose one to begin crafting a literary essay about.
Science time saw the kids putting the finishing touches on a model of the solar system. They were also able to share some of the interesting details that they have learned about the planets with each other.
I hope everyone has a nice long weekend.
