The fifth grade began to explore the theme of clean water during our ELA time. We began the unit by looking at the book A River Ran Wild by Lynne Cherry. This story focused on a river in New England that was badly damaged due to pollution. Over time, the river has recovered. This story served as a nice kick-off to the new reading unit.
Earlier in the day, the students returned to their work with the proportional fraction land problems with their small groups. The fifth graders wrapped up this two day lesson with very positive work. I was impressed with the ability of students to explain their thinking to one another. A very meaningful lesson.
