We have a huge school of fish outside our classroom door for grade 5 and another school of fish hanging on the 6th grade door showing all of our lenten good deeds.  We have another few weeks of Lent, so continue doing your good deeds daily. (We won't stop just because Easter comes later this month.)

Grade 5 learned about dividing fractions, and we used manipulatives to practice.  Then we learned that we can "flip and multiply" to get the answer.  We practiced on IXL.

Our 5/6 Learning Community just finished our read aloud,"A Long Way from Chicago" today.  We had groups work on a story map showing the various story elements including characters, setting, conflict, plot, climax and resolution.  It was impressive seeing the groups interact and work so well together!

It was a great day!
