Today, the fifth graders returned to Number the Stars. The students read in their small groups today and then dealt with some reading comprehension questions pertaining to the chapter in question. I was impressed with the level of discourse and compliment my students for their diligence in regards to this book. I look forward to progressing deeper into the text.
Earlier in the day, the students looked at the famous ride made famous by Paul Revere. The students looked closely at a famous poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and used that to help them dig into this important event.
The fifth graders are also beginning a research project on a topic that pertains to the Revolutionary War. We have a number of sources for the students to use in the course of the writing, but I would strongly encourage students to travel to their local library to collect additional resources to use in the course of their project.
