A significant milestone for the fifth graders was achieved in ELA this morning. The kids finished reading Esperanza Rising. We began the lesson by making predictions about the conclusion and then dove into the text. After finishing the kids shared their thoughts with peers and then began working on an organizer that explored a key metaphor that cropped up throughout the text. We are going to finish that work early next week and then turn our attention to crafting a literary essay.

I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
