Rolling into 5th grade GT

Fishy Fieldtrip

What an amazing way to spend our last day together! We arrived at Wilson Ponds to release our fabulous rainbow trout that we raised together. After a lovely walk in the tallk grass, we visited the Fisheries Research Building where Fish and Game volunteers lead awesome activities: Gyotaku (Fish Painting), Casting Practice, and shared how they Age Trout. We then had some time to enjoy fishing and the beautiful setting. We ended the day at the Fish Hatchery! Whew the day went fast - just like the time we had together in GT. THANK YOU to all the amazing parents that helped on our trip! We appreciate you!

Farewell Fabulous 5th Graders!

Brain Food: Menu Projects

For the final projects in GT, 5th grades are using all of the skills they have built over the years to complete projects from a menu. (They helped design the menu options.) There will be 2 sessions of menus- 3 weeks each. Their session projects will be posted after Day 3. For Session 1, they could choose to work on Animation, Movie Making, 3D printing, or Robotics. Take a peek behind the scenes of their projects from days 1 and 2.

Mock Trials

What if the Big Bad Wolf sued the 3rd pig for medical bills? What if Goldilocks was charged with breaking and entering? Students went through all the steps in a trail in these creative court cases. Take a peek at the courtroom drama!

Guest Speakers: Ridgevue Debate Team

A huge thank you to a few members of the Speech and Debate team! 5th graders got a peek into the world of Speech and Debate. A demonstration of their Congressional Debate was very inspiring and highly controversial for the fifth graders. Thanks for sharing your hard work!

Story Book Trials

Fifth graders were hired to represent their clients in these court cases. Collecting fact, calling witnesses, analyzing the law, and digging in to character histories were some of the strategies they used to represent thier clients. A jury listened to the opening statements and arguments to then deliberate and announce a verdict. Take a peek in our storybook courtoom.

5th Grade Guest Authors

Fifth graders wrote and illustrated their own picture books where a main character overcame a fear. A handful of stories were selected to be read to Birch first grade students. Their creativity, dialogue, and ability to show character change was impressive! Take a quick peek at the special guests.

Chess Simul

Students played chess against Mr. Arney, our chess instructor - all at the same time! Strategy, planning, and collaboration helped them strengthen their game.

Robot Zoo

Students designed, built, and programmed their own robot animals. Check out their amazing problem solving and dedication to the animals in their habitats.

Guest Author

Our amazing assistant superintendent, Joey Palmer, was a guest speaker in our class sharing the message of writing as a process. He didn't just tell the students that "The Art of writing is Rewriting", he showed them! We enjoyed his humor, the book that he wrote and illustrated, and his enthusiasm for writing. What a great kickstart to our book writing project!

Catch Games

5th graders became game creators coding in Scratch. Click the link to play their awesome games!

Pixelated Symbolism

If there was an app icon that represented you, what would it be? Students explored the idea of symbolism and created their app icon. Using conditional formatting in Sheets, they "programmed" their image into a color by number image. Check out thier amazing work!

A Picture is Worth 1000 Words.

Imagine the image that truly represented you. Students used a green screen to create just that - an image that represents who they are.

Rolling into 5th grade GT

We are off to a great start to the year in 5th grade GT! In the morning, students had a cutting task to stretch their perseverance and problem solving skills. In the afternoon students were given limited time and supplies to create a vehicle that could travel as far as possible with a focus on creativity and learning from mistakes to modify and improve.
