This was Art week in Science. We created all kinds of art this week with volcanoes. We used chalk, pastels, watercolors, and charcoal!
Mrs. Gurley-Mozie came in to introduce the Famous American research project that we'll be working on for the next five weeks in Social Studies. We are excited to start this project that lives on Mrs. Gurley-Mozie's web page.
In Math we are testing today for the end of this unit on algebra. We also learned about circumference, diameter, radius, and Pi.
In writing, we are finishing a five paragraph essay on the celebrity that we'd like to spend a day with. Our writing skills are amazing now!!
Have a beautiful spring weekend!!

Happy Vacation!
We just finished our unit on the Civil War. We watched a four minute video that you can view on the internet called, The Civil War in Four Minutes. It was from the Lincoln Library. It showed how our country changed so significantly over the four years of the war.
In Science this week we had a quiz on volcanoes. Remember that the volcano projects are due the Friday after vacation!
We completed our persuasive essays in writing and they were AWESOME!! We shared them on Thursday and Mrs. Turpin came in to hear them. She said that she'd have a hard time saying no to any of these requests because they were so well done!
In Math we have started unit 10, working on Algebra! The kids are also learning how to make
line graphs to plot data.
Have a fun, warm, and safe April vacation. Enjoy this time with your families!!

Happy Spring!
In Science this week we continued our learning about volcanoes. Ask your child about the three types that exist. Our Volcano projects are due April 29th! The kids are very excited about this!
In Social Studies we are learning all about the Civil War. We learned that President Lincoln was assassinated five days after the war ended by an actor at Ford's Theatre. We are also working on a very cool project using Google Earth with the help of Mrs. Gurley-Mozie. Our fifth graders will be teaching others how to use this incredible tool.
We are looking forward to our field trip to Merrill Auditorium next Monday. We will be seeing, We the People.
In Math we finished unit 9, studying area and volume and today we are starting algebra! Wow!
In writing we just finished some really fantastic journals and are now working on some neat persuasive writing!
Have a great sunny week!
