5V News

Boston field trip:
Thank you to all of the parents that joined us on our field trip!  It was a great day despite the rain! I was so impressed with how engaged the students were and how little they complained about being cold and wet.  We had great conversations the next day at morning meeting about all they had learned and how much they loved our tour guide. 

We are learning about:
  • American Revolution
  • Bridges
  • The Constitution
  • Historical Fiction
Some activities we did this week:
  • Chose parts for our class play, The U.S. Constitution
  • Rehearsed our parts and songs as a class
  • Began our Bridges project during math
  • Used an ipad app to build our schema for bridges
  • Began designing bridges and making plans in our groups
  • Continued drafting our choice writing projects
  • Experimented with different leads in our writing
  • Presented our American Revolution projects
