As we approach the close of grades for term one, students continue to be hard at work on their narrative stories. Many students are in the process of typing their work into Google docs. The goal is to have all students publish their final copy by November 21st.
Room 312 was presented with some challenging division word problems today. Students were able to call upon the various methods we have been working on to help them solve these problems. In a chapter that often creates problems for fifth graders, I am pleased with the work that is being done this year.
Students also leaned about different regions that Native Americans settled in. Using a graphic organizer, students began to focus in on specific areas and listed pros and cons for the different habitats.
I hope everyone enjoys their day off tomorrow and takes a moment to reflect on the sacrifice made by the men and woman who have chosen to serve their country in uniform. Happy Veteran's Day.
