This week we are going to do some preparing for the ELA MCAS which is coming up in April. The fifth graders will have some time to familiarize themselves with the testing website. They are also going to work through the questions of a practice test.

We began this new week with an assessment during math class. This quiz will serve as a indication how the fifth graders are doing with their adding and subtracting of decimals. We are going to conclude unit six later this week.

We began our final trimester today. During math class, the fifth graders took part in one final lesson that saw them solving addition and subtraction of decimal word problems. On Monday, we will take our final assessment of unit six.

The kids were also able to get a significant amount of work done on their 13 colonies projects. Excellent teamwork the last two days. We will look to have all groups done by Tuesday of next week.

Have a nice weekend.

In the afternoon, groups continued to work on their 13 colonies posters. The last two weeks saw the fifth graders collecting information from various sources on graphic organizers. We are looking to have each of the five groups finish their projects by next week.

The final few writers finished their conferences today. Each of the members of A303 has now published their opinion writing pieces. These turned out great. Later this week the kids will receive a copy to take home that has a graded rubric attached.
