During social studies today, the fifth graders continued to craft their persuasive letters. These letters, which are written from the point of view of John Adams to George Washington, are coming along nicely. The students are making convincing arguments as to why Washington should take charge of the Continental Army.
Later in the day, the students read deeper into Number The Stars. We are getting to some of the more meaningful moments of the book and the students are very much enjoying this novel. After reading, the fifth graders continued to work together in their small reading groups on comprehension questions that dealt with important turning points to this point in the story.
I continue to encourage my students to visit a library outside of school to supplement their resources.
