Language arts + Social studies

5th grade explored maps, directions, scale measurements, and how to utilize a grid to locate places on a map. Geography work is is some of Ryan's favorite Social Studies lessons.

Next week ELA: Complete poetry books; research mini unit.

math + Science

This week Math: Multiplying fractions.

The students completed a science experiment wherein they assembled a mold terrarium and elected one variable to change. They were testing whether that variable would promote or hinder mold growth. Huzzah for the unsung heroes that keep our world from succumbing to the detritus about us -- fungus and other decomposers!
