This week and last we worked on writing biographies. First, we gathered information about a family member by interviewing them. Next, we compiled all of that information into a biography. We worked on editing our sentences to make sure that they flowed together nicely. Here are two of the finished projects!
During math this week, we solved math stories with a group. Each student showed their thinking on a shared piece of paper. They each had the chance to share their strategy with their small group and compare answers. This gave us great practice in working together and presenting information to a group.
(It's also Wacky Hair Day!)
We read The Bumpy Little Pumpkin and compared the pumpkin in the story to our class pumpkin! We will be using this pumpkin as part of a writing activity about Fairy Tales for next week.
*I wanted to give a quick shout-out to my sister for providing us with this odd little pumpkin!
Grandma reads with those students who were finished early with their writing projects.

Teachers vs. 5th graders "volleyball" game
