Reader's Response Journals, Sidewalk Chalk, and Maps...Oh My!


Language Arts: Reader's Response Journals

Today the girls created a Reader's Response Journal folder in Google Drive and started working on their first entry.  The prompt related to our current class novel, Our Only May Amelia.  The girls made text to self connections between their own lives in 2015 and May Amelia's life in 1899.





Other academic things that fifth graders are up to:
History: maps and landforms of the United States.
Math: rounding numbers to specific place values! 

Another highlight from today: SIDEWALK CHALK AT RECESS!
