Fifth grade is the best!

Things have been going really well since vacation.  The students (and teachers!) are well rested and ready for learning.  

In writing, we have been working on point of view.  Mrs. Sands' class will be presenting their writing at school meeting on January 29th.

In reading, we have taken a break from StoryTown for a couple of weeks to work on our Bio Poem assessment.  Ask your child about Paul Bunyan's character traits!

In Science, we have started our "Changing Earth" slideshow presentations.  We will conduct research on a given topic and clearly explain how that topic proves the idea that the earth is constantly changing.  We will use the laptops to organize our ideas into a slideshow that we will present to our class.

In Social Studies, we just finished writing an opinion paper.  We were asked to chose which economic job we would chose to be and why.  The choices were cabinet member, supreme court justice, ambassador, president, or vice president.
