This week the 5th graders finally completed their personality profile art pieces! They will be proudly displayed in the hallway for a couple weeks before they come home. Our Social/Emotional Learning will now shift to looking at how diverse personalities and skills can benefit and cause challenges during team projects.

The students also finished their brain stations from last week where they built a 3D brain model from playdough, played a brain trivia game, and practiced leaving positive, productive, and inquisitive comments on their classmates' brain blogs.

After stations, they laid the ground work for a brain anatomy team project. The created a giant brace map showing the whole-part relationships within the brain. Next week, they will research and add the function of each part of the brain as well as diagrams, pronunciation guides, and etymology if they are feeling up to it! This should be a challenging and fun piece of big work that will be added to their brain blogs and available for sharing soon!
