Students took their spring DDM during math class today. This assessment, which focused on fractions, will allow me to get a nice glimpse into the progress that the students have made over the course of the last few months of school. After that was completed, the fifth graders resumed their work with coordinate grids by focusing on the growth rates of some unusual animals.

Room 312 continued their work on their informational writing topic. Students were fortunate to be able to use their library time today to compile source material to help supplement their writing. I continue to encourage my class to work on this outside of school and to be on the look-out for additional sources.
