5V News

Happy Friday!  Don't forget the Pancake Breakfast and Book Fair tomorrow!

We are learning about:

  • 13 Colonies
  • The respiratory system
  • Division 
  • Character study in reading and writing
Some activities we did this week:
  • Used base 10 blocks to show division
  • Practiced long division
  • Culminated our character project by pretending our characters were on social media and wrote about and illustrated what that would like look
  • Researched the fort at Jamestown and how it has changed
  • Began learning about the 13 colonies and their location
  • Participated in a school wide assembly where some of our 5V students shared about their coding experience
  • Did our second Mystery Skype!  (you'll have to ask your child where they were located!) 
I was happy and proud to present at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference this week on the power and value of student blogging.  I'm including a link to the presentation if you have any interest in seeing how I showcased some of our current and past students' work.
