Human Rights with 5th Grade ELA

Students in the 5th Grade Literacy group have spent the semester doing a deep dive into the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and connections in our history. They then culminated their research into websites they designed from scratch. Ask your student to share their's with you.

Fifth Grade Math Storms the Castle!

This amazing group of mathematicians recently worked with complex, multi-step volume problems to design their own castle complete with necessary towers, a keep, bailey, moat, etc... Their math skills coupled with the Engineering Design Process made for some successful models. All of which were constructed on the Augmented Reality Sandtable.

(Almost) Final Math Olympiad

Our next Math Olympiad competition will be March 2nd. There is nothing that needs to be done to prepare. Your student has been practicing in class and will be ready for the event.

5th Grade Math Geometry: Angles, Circumference and Radius- oh my!

Students worked with congruent and supplemental angles, as well as inscribed and central angles to master this unit.

They applied all skills to find radius, diameter, circumference and area of circles for the purposes of constructing a telescope.

They put their problem solving skills to action with the construction of their own telescope.

I am so proud of their hard work through this unit!

Math Olympiad

Our next Math Olympiad competition will be January 30th. There is nothing that needs to be done to prepare. Your student has been practicing in class and will be ready for the event. If they cannot attend, they will be able to participate in the next MOEMS competition in February.

This I Believe...

For this final unit of the semester, fifth grade literacy students sampled model "This I Believe..." essays from Temple Grandin, Helen Keller, Zachary Broken Rope and others.

Next, students took time for a self-evaluation of their most intrinsic beliefs. After much thought and consideration, students chose one belief to write about and share. Not only was the probing of personal beliefs so powerful, but students' peer feedback proved to be incredibly supportive. Enjoy their essays below. This they believe...
