CELEBRATION OF CULTURES - ANOTHER GREAT GRANT EVENT

Our annual Celebration of Cultures was last Friday and it was a hit!  Students learned about 12 different countries from presentations in the gym.  Many 5th graders in our class did a wonderful job putting together information about countries their families are from.  And all 5th graders enjoyed learning about different countries' culture, landmarks, language, geography, dress, food and more!  Enjoy the pics below.

Following is an outline of our upcoming learning for the next two weeks.  This will lead us into a well deserved spring break!

READING: We will finish our Eco literature journal cycle and students will begin to plan their Eco Dioramas.
WRITING:  We will continue our word study work and students have also been writing letters to get some community partners involved in our research about Outdoor Education.
MATH:  Our math focus will primarily be fractions with a test next Tuesday the 29th.  Then we will spend a few days enjoying an introduction to geometry.
SCIENCE: Our science will continue to be on properties of water leading into weather.  This will include planning the methods for our community science project on Outdoor Education.
SS:  We will continue and hopefully finish the steps leading to the American Revolution and the war itself. There will be a test on this content the Friday before Spring Break.
