Today, students learned in Readers' Workshop a summarizing strategy called Fab Five. We practiced with our read aloud, Goblins in the Castle. Students paired up to write cohesive paragraphs using the Somebody, wanted, but, so, then strategy. In Writers' Workshop, we learned about dialogue and how authors use dialogue in their writing. Students practiced using dialogue, a variety of speech tags, and punctuation in their memoir. Most students are finished publishing their memoir and working with me to polish their final piece.
In math, students had a review day. We were reinforcing traditional multiplication (3 digit by 3 digit) and also checking our work with estimates, partial product multiplication, and area model multiplication. Since students entered 5th grade with such a solid foundation of partial products and area model multiplication, teaching students the traditional method of multiplying was much simpler.
