Throughout this week we've been focusing on increasing fifth graders' engagement and endurance across the subjects. In math we have been building our problem solving strategy tool box and working on persevering through challenging problems. In writing we have been forming partnerships to help strengthen our writing. In reading we are working on reading for longer periods of time and recording our thinking using direct evidence from the text. We're just getting into the swing of our "How We Express Ourselves" unit about collaboration. The students have already been posing some great questions and we have some interesting work ahead of us in the upcoming weeks.
Next week we will be focusing on our responsibilities to each other as a "community of learners" as we learn more about classroom jobs. On Monday, we'll be having a math problem solving quiz, continuing our collaboration work in writing, and diving into some useful strategies for determining importance in literature.
Specials:
Spanish/Technology; P.E./Music; Spanish/Library; P.E./Music; Rhythms
Reminders:
Below are some pictures from this week: problem solving, writing partnerships, and Big Buddies!
Have a great weekend!
