The fifth graders returned to our literary writing unit today. The students spent time gathering ideas about a potential theme concerning the video that we watched together in class last week. The students used a thesis template to better organize their writing. They then looked to gather reasons, examples or particular scenes taken from the short video to form the structure of their paper. I was impressed with the level of discourse and energy that the students took to this material.
Earlier in the school day, the two fifth grade once again met in their groups to continue work on their fraction word problems. The students have been eager to work with Mrs. Leigh's students. The fifth graders worked well in their groups to deconstruct and solve this challenging word problem.
As a reminder, a group of language teachers from the middle school will be visiting us tomorrow.
