Mrs. Lukens' 5th grade 

Science / Social Studies Class


I am so excited about this school year.  This is my 25th year teaching.  Science and Social Studies are my favorite subjects.   We will be planting a WWII Victory Garden in the classroom through the use of my vertical aeroponics garden called The Tower Garden. Students will be growing salad vegetables while learning about how our garden conserves resources, and how to grow plants with no soil.  The best part is, they get to grow the vegetables and then eat them in a salad after our WWII unit.  We grow mostly lettuce, so that means salads! YUM!  The kids love it!


In our class, we take learning seriously, but we also make it fun! This year, I challenge you to make learning fun at home by helping your child research the topics we are learning about in class.  Please have students log on to Clever.com and access our HMH Science texts, Gallopade Social Studies texts, and use Study Island for lessons and quizzes.  Please help your child to study information from the study guides that will be sent home several days before each unit test.  Thank you in advance for your commitment to your child's education!
