So fun seeing these explorers blast off and get ready for middle school!! The future awaits!! @EllisSoars @VTilitsky now time for summer!!
5th graders are light benders!! We had a little extra time outside after recess to refract the sun through a prism to make a rainbow. Students were very excited to see this! @EllisSoars
First Robotics club day was successful!! The clubs worked collaboratively to explore and build a project from Spike Prime!! Can’t wait to see what is next! @EllisSoars @mrschadwick4
Was able to see some creativity this week with rotations, reflections, translations, and also combining and subdividing shapes! They were so excited to show their learning with shapes! @EllisSoars
Teamwork makes the dreamwork! They were so determined to race on the board but also help their teammates understand what they were doing!! Love their focus ❤️❤️
Multiplication chart competition has started!! These fifth graders are working hard to know how to make multiplication charts to help them with their math. Can you spot any strategies that the students are using?? #math #multiplication #masters #strategy
Sound can be noisy!! These fifth graders were able to explore the world of sound. Through these explorations, they learned that we are able to hear sounds because of the vibrations that they make! @EllisSoars
Love seeing struggle turn into success! Students were given materials to light a bulb to explore and get a sense of what would work with electricity. The excitement of getting the light turned on is the best part of this unit each year!
Loved surprising these fifth graders with shirts and books! Thanks to @tees2urdoor1 for these amazing shirts. They couldn’t wait to put them on. Hope@they enjoy reading #FuzzyMud by #LouisSachar over our break!
Starting our new novel is exciting!! They are already wanting to dig deeper into the text and continue reading, even when time is up. Can’t wait to learn more about these amazing women in Hidden Figures! @EllisSoars
Loved seeing the growth of these students with the reading of Holes by Louis Sachar. They loved every bit of it!! They even escaped Camp Green Lake today in our escape room to earn some Sploosh! Can’t wait to see what they read next!!
Loved getting the opportunity to take a field trip to the Tech Lab at Cedar Point Elementary! Students were so creative and engaged in their projects and ideas to make the world better! They were still talking about it today and if we could go back!
Students LOVEEDD using quiz,quiz, trade to review for our science test!! This really boosted their confidence before the test and proved how much they did know!
Friction is fun when you have a class that loves cars! We tested which surface has more friction by using cars, Ramps, and different surfaces. Hearing the excitement and the vocabulary use is always a great time!
Loved getting my class together today to read the next section of #Holes by #LouisSachar. One student even said “I thought chapter books were boring but I LOVE this!” So glad I can open their eyes to see the story behind the words.
Best part of my day was introducing Holes by Louis Sachar to my class!! They were so excited to get into the story and did NOT want to stop. I think I’ve got them hooked 😃 Chapter books do not have to be “scary”.
Thank you to Dr. T for coming in and leading our experiment today!! Being back in the science lab was amazing, students were overheard saying how they were like real scientists now! Love how excited they got today. #science #experiment
These kiddos couldn’t wait to get into their new books from @CKlisiewicz. They dove in while waiting for classmates at the restroom!
