[quote=Anonymous]Yes, it’s typical for a fair number of fifth graders to need to sharpen their fact fluency. This is also a way for teachers to start to assess class strengths and weaknesses so that they can adjust instruction accordingly. Regarding coloring, that can be part of a get-to-know you project, something the students do while listening to class expectations, a way to fill downtime while awaiting an assembly, or a number of other purposes. First days are always about gaining comfort, building community, setting expectations. No, you won’t see “rigor” at this time, especially with the prevalence of anxiety among students and parents.[/quote]
