During our all block time this morning, the fifth graders worked on some grammar practice. They looked to identify and correct grammar, spelling and punctuation errors in a variety of sentences. This work is paying of in their personal writing.

We have two important goals in room A303 this week. The first is that the kids are going to complete their mid-unit Jackie Robinson assessment. Some of the fifth graders were able to cross that line today. We will look for the rest of the class to finish up tomorrow.

The second key item this week is to wrap up our decimal unit during math class.

I hope everyone has a nice holiday weekend.

The fifth graders spent their ELA time reading the last portion of our Jackie Robinson anchor text. This portion of the book and our larger class discussion dealt with legacies and what Robinson's is. We ended the lesson with a fruitful class discussion. Tomorrow, the members of A303 are going to respond to a writing prompt.

The month of March wrapped up today with the fifth graders taking the second and final session of their ELA MCAS test.

We spent our ELA time wrapping up yesterday's work with our Jackie Robinson text. We also dedicated some time to working specifically with grammar and punctuation. The kids were tasked with correcting errors that they identified in a series of sentences. The kids did a nice job with this.

As a reminder, the fifth graders are taking their ELA MCAS test on Monday and Tuesday next week. Please work to ensure that all students arrive at school on time so that testing can commence at the expected time. I hope everyone has a nice weekend.
