Keeping Informed: Recent Greenfield Educational News
- Greenfield Preschoolers Learn With Robots - The youngsters at Greenfield’s Academy of Learning have been using little yellow robots called Bee-Bots to learn skills such as sequencing, estimating, counting, and problem solving. One day, they estimated how many steps it would take the robots to go from the starting line to the finish line and then used measuring tape and counted exactly how many steps were taken.
- Greenfield Schools Hold Open House Ahead of First Day of School - Prior to the first day of school for students, the Greenfield schools held open houses for students and parents to pick up class schedules and assignments. One new program that will be implemented for the 2014-15 school year at the middle school is “One School, One Read.” The idea was proposed by a former English teacher and involves every teacher and student in the school reading the same novel in the hopes of building a community of readers.
- New Greenfield High School Opens - The first phase in the construction of the new Greenfield High was recently completed, and it opened its doors to students for the 2014-15 school year.

Chalk Talk: What Do Fifth Graders Learn in ELA?
In English language arts, fifth grade students will have a more advanced knowledge of the craft and structure of literature, being able to determine the meanings of figurative language such as similes and metaphors in texts, understanding how chapters and stanzas fit together to contribute to the overall story, and recognizing how the narrator’s point-of-view influences the text. Fifth graders should not only understand how illustrations contribute to meaning but also to the tone and beauty of texts. Fifth grade is the final grade in which foundational skills play a role in literacy instruction; foundational skills should be at the highest level at this stage in students’ development. In writing, students’ ideas should be organized logically. In their writing, they should use linking words such as consequently, specifically, and in contrast, and the language used should be precise and domain-specific. With support from teachers and peers, students will engage in the full writing process: revising, editing, rewriting, and trying new approaches when necessary.
