Today was a significant day for the fifth graders. We launched our first EL unit of study during our ELA time. This unit will see the kids working with a historical fiction novel. We spent some time talking about what a constructive and productive ELA lesson looks like when working independently and with small groups. These norms will serve us well in the long run. Tomorrow, the kids will be introduced to the novel that we will be reading together.
During our math time, we began working with factors and multiples. The members of A303 had a wealth of background knowledge and this served the discussion well.
Over the rest of this week, the kids are going to be sharing their decorated writing notebooks with their peers.
