We began the second portion of unit one during our math time this afternoon. The kids did a nice job with their order of operation assessment yesterday. This part of our first unit will see the kids working with a variety of strategies to solve multiplication problems. Today was a good first start. There were a number of students who did a fine job of verbalizing their thinking when working with pairs.
Our ELA time saw the fifth graders read the next chapter in Esperanza Rising. This portion of the book will see our main characters undergo several important changes, both in their personalities and within the overall setting of the story. The kids are going to respond to some focus questions pertaining to these changes during our ELA time tomorrow.
