We began our day with our Novel Studies. Students have been working tremendously hard as a group. Great job Grade 5!

We started an expository piece of writing today that we will use for a number of different activities once we get the basis for our stories. Expository writing does not include the use of first person. Students are writing a story about a Special Place, trying to convince someone to visit.

In Math, we continued to review the division strategy. Students are making corrections to a review sheet as homework tonight.

Students began a personal timeline in Social. For homework, students are to make a list of 10 special events that have occured throughout their lifetime. I encouraged students to compile a list of events that are spread out throughout their life...not all from the same 2 - 3 time period. This list is due for Thursday, January 15.
