Just finished reading “The Science of Breakable Things” with my Fifth graders! Of course, we had to do our own Egg Drop Competition as a culminating activity! Some adorable first graders came for the show! @meadowbrookem

We love to build our reading stamina during our homebase time📚📓📖

Fifth grade is in session and so is court! Our students in ELA put Don Quixote on trial to decide: Do his good intentions justify his actions? Hero or fool? @meadowbrookem

Congratulations to our students who received a 5th grade PTA award!

Rec night was a blast! Our students can’t wait to go to middle school! @meadowbrookem

Today, we had the pleasure of hosting the amazing author Mrs. Gritz, writer of August or Forever! Our fifth-grade ELA classes were inspired by her insights, asked thoughtful questions, and read the first chapter together. A special day for our young authors! 📚✨ @meadowbrookem

In ELA class, students complete their first published piece as part of the CKLA Unit 1. This project invited students to explore the story behind their names, weaving together research and personal reflection. We celebrated today with a Name Narrative Cafe! @meadowbrookem

Start with Hello Week! Green Day!

Reading stamina is up and running in Homebase Room 215!

These 5th graders are ready for an awesome year! @meadowbrookem

Congratulations CLASS OF 2024! @meadowbrookem

One of my favorite ELA assignments involves students writing a "Dear 5th Grade Future Graduate" letter during the first week of school and a reflective letter during the last week of school, highlighting their growth throughout the year. @meadowbrookem

Wrapping up our CKLA Don Quixote unit with a bang! Our 5th graders hosted a mock trial during ELA to determine Don Quixote's guilt. Incredible performances by our public defenders, district attorney, and amazing witnesses! PART 2! @meadowbrookem

Our PARP-tastic Adventure: We have been diving into many books this week! 🚀📚” @meadowbrookem Thank you to our special guest Ms. Dowling @CMSGuid for reading to us today!

Day 1 of PARP! Drop everything and read with a flashlight, which enhanced our cozy reading experience! @meadowbrookem

I thrive on the lively discussions my 5th-grade students engage in during ELA class, as we explore the various perspectives on Esperanza Rising and anticipate what might unfold next!
