5th Grade

Our Tutor Info

WELCOME

Hello everyone, my name is Sofía Diaz. I am the 5th grade tutor here at Terra Bella Elementary. I would like to tell you a little about myself. I've been working in after school a little over 1 year. Before that, I worked as a Yard Duty in this very school, which helped me get to know the students I now have the opportunity to help every day. It is a wonderful privilege to work with the students, connect with them, and be here for whatever they need. I look forward to get to know this year's 5th graders better. This year will be an interesting one for sure.

With that in mind...

I would like to invite you to our 5th grade after-school class page. Here, our 5th graders will have access to our weekly activities and physical education, which will be presented in a day by day agenda. This will not only allow students to become more organized before and after joining after school, it will also allow parents to see what's new in our virtual classroom. Furthermore, they will be able to keep in contact with me for any questions that may come up. As we move along throughout this new way of learning, join me and the following 5th grade class. I look forward to making this school year positive. Lastly, remember to wear your mask, keep your six feet distance, and wash your hands for 20 seconds. Hope to see you guys real soon!

Bienvenidos

Hola a todos, me llamo Sofía Diaz. Soy la tutora de 5to grado aqui en la escuela primaria de Terra Bella. Me gustaria presentarme a ustedes. He trabajado en despues de clases por casi dos años. Antes de eso, trabajé supervisando los estudiantes en recreo, en esta misma escuela. Eso me ayudó a conocer mas a los estudiantes que ahora tengo la oportunidada de ayudar a diario. Es un maravilloso privilegio trabajar con mis estudiantes, conectar con ellos, y estar disponible para lo que necesiten. Espero con ansias conocer mas a los estudiantes en 5to de este año. Este año sin duda sera interesante.

Con esto en mente...

Quisiera invitarlos a nuestra pagina de despues de clases de 5to grado. Aqui, los estudiantes tendrán acceso a las actividades semanales y educacion física. Esto será presentado en un agenda diario. Esto no solo ayudará a los estudiantes a organizarse mejor antes y despues del programa, les permitirá a los padres estar al tanto de actualizaciones en nuestra clase virtual. Ademas, podrán contactarme para cualquier pregunta que tengan. Mientras seguimos adelante con este nuevo metodo de aprendizaje, acompañenme a la clase de este grado. Espero poder hacer este año escolar uno positivo. Finalmente, recuerden usar mascara, mantener distancia de 6 pies, y lavarse la manos por 20 segundos. Espero verlos a todos muy pronto!

Magic Milk Science Experiment

For this experiment, all you will need are:

A shallow bowl
Milk
Dish soap
Food coloring
and cotton swabs

Ice Cream in a Bag

You don't need a fancy ice cream maker to make ice cream at home. All you need is a plastic baggie and 15 minutes. Top with any of your favorite topping and enjoy homemade ice cream instantly!

For this experiment, you will need:

1 cup half-and-half
2 tbsp. granulated sugar
1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
3 cup ice
1/3 cup kosher salt
Toppings of your choice

Directions

In a small resealable plastic bag, combine half-and-half, sugar, and vanilla. Push out excess air and seal.
Into a large resealable plastic bag, combine ice and salt. Place small bag inside the bigger bag and shake vigorously, 7 to 10 minutes, until ice cream has hardened.
Remove from bag and enjoy with your favorite ice cream toppings.

32 Genius Ways to Recycle Plastic

Start by using your scissors to trim the stems of your flowers. You don’t want to leave the stems too long because it will take longer for the colored water to reach the petals.

Next, place one cup for each color of food coloring you will be using on a tray. Then, fill each cup about halfway with water and add several drops of food coloring to each cup, only one color per cup. Now you’re ready to add your flowers.

It may take several hours or even days for the flowers to begin absorbing the colored water. You will know the experiment is working when you begin to see the petals of the flowers changing colors.

Color Changing Flowers SCience Experiment

Here are the supplies you will need to do this experiment at home or in your classroom:

Water
Clear Cups
Food Coloring
White Carnations (or other white flower)
Scissors

Puffy Paint Ice cream Cone

Materials Needed:

Green, red, and brown paint (or food coloring)
Elmer's Glue
Barbasol shaving cream
White cardstock paper
Cardboard
Scissors
Marker
Paintbrush

Start by mixing the elmer's glue with the shaving cream until you get "stiff peaks" in the mixture.
Add some green paint or food coloring to the puffy paint. Cut out a triangle cone with cardboard and draw lines with a marker.
Using a paintbrush, paint an ice cream cone shape on top of the cone. Take a tiny paintbrush/brown paint and add little chocolate chips!
Add some red cherries at the top if you want! Let it dry overnight and it'll be puffy to touch!

Mosaics

Mosaics are beautiful pictures made from colorful tiles of different shapes and sizes. You can make an inspiring piece of art that you can share with your family and friends with this activity!

Materials

Pencil or marker
Different kinds of paper, such as construction paper, wrapping paper, old greeting cards, magazines, fabric, buttons, etc.
Scissors
Glue

You can find the complete activity here!

For this simple science experiment with salt you will need:

A glass filled with water
An ice cube
A piece of string
Salt

Experiment with Salt: Freezing Temperature

To conduct this simple science experiment, place the ice cube into the glass of water. The ice cube will float on top of the water. Next, take your length of string (it will work best if you use a wet piece of string) and lay it across the ice cube. Can you pick up the ice cube? No? What could we use as “glue” to attach the string to the ice cube?

Here’s how to make the magic happen: Place the wet string on top of the ice cube, sprinkle some salt over the ice cube and string and wait for one minute. After one minute, lift the string by holding it at each end.

Did you know that our bodies are one of the most amazing machines in the world? While regular machines wear out the more we use them, our bodies are the complete opposite! The more we move our bodies, the longer and happier we will live. Because of that, it is important to give it a good workout every day.
