READING
Students have just finished their Dear America projects. They received their biography books today on a variety of well known men and women. Reading these books, students will discover how their lives and works touched so many others in such a positive way. They will present their knowledge gathered about these people of interest to the class in a variety of ways.
Students will continue to work on figurative language, context clues, predicting, main idea and other comprehension skills.
ENGLISH
Students are working on adverbs and prepositions. They have started writing different kinds of poetry, creating their own poetry book, writing plays for finger puppets and regular puppets.
The fifth graders also wrote an essay for the Sertoma Club on What Freedom Means To Me. Kassidy Batt won Second Place overall for eastside schools. |

SCIENCE
Students have studied the shape and formation of clouds, why they float, why they are gray and Latin names for clouds and many other interesting facts.
SOCIAL STUDIES
We are in the midst of the American Revolution and discovering that this event was not just about signing a piece of paper. The bravery of many men and women gove their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor to this cause.
