The fifth graders began their preparation for reading the novel, Bud Not Buddy, today. We spent time looking at the Great Depression and the impact it had on children. Later, the students received their copies of the book and we captured initial observations and connections to the front cover of the story. This is a great book, and I am eager to begin reading it with my students.
Earlier in the day, the fifth graders worked with 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication problems. The students were tasked with solving these problems, showing their work with visual representations and finally creating a story for each problem.
Homework
30 minutes of quiet reading per night
As a reminder to parents and guardians, the fifth graders should be looking to return signed and completed science camp forms as soon as possible. These forms are due by next Tuesday, the 27th. Thank you in advance for your consideration.
I also wanted to spread the word that we are still looking for some chaperones for science camp. Ideally, we would like to have adults stay the four days of camp, but we would also be open to having people volunteer for portions of camp. Please contact me at: dallen@arlington.k12.ma.us if you are interested in helping out.
