Working in pairs, the fifth graders looked to craft a draft of a "two-voice" poem. Using previous graphic organizers, the kids told wrote a poem from the perspective of two different characters viewing the same event. This was a productive session. Tomorrow, we are going to turn our attention to literary essay writing.

Math class, saw us continuing to work with volume problems. The kids completed two important workbook pages and then returned to some unfinished material from Monday.

The next few weeks will see the fifth graders working on a literary essay that ties into Esperanza Rising. We spent ELA time today putting the finishing touches on the assessment to mark the end of our reading. 

As a reminder, the kids do not have school tomorrow because of the Thompson being used for town wide voting.
