What’s Happening in 5th- Final Edition!
Humanities
We did it! This year we’ve read novels, written essays, traveled through ancient civilizations, and kept up with current events. In these final weeks, the 5th graders wrote a biography about a famous woman in history, finished reading Seedfolks, and wrote themselves into the book by creating an additional chapter with their own story. In Social Studies, they created board games traveling through the duat, the Egyptian afterlife. To finish up the year, we played each other’s games and watched Wonder. I am endlessly proud of the resilience and work put in by each of the 5th graders this year. It wasn’t easy but we did it!
Have a fun, relaxing, enjoyable summer!
Math
We made it! I am so proud of the 5th grade class and I am so happy that you all were given a chance to see them present their work last Friday. These last weeks of school, the 5th grade completed their final projects, which was to create a successful food truck. They converted measurements from pound to tablespoon and quickly learned the ins and outs of running a business. They learned the origin of the number 1. They calculated combinations of different priced stamps to mail packages. They also organized and analyzed information to make logical decisions. It’s been quite a year and your children did amazing, I am so proud of them. I hope that everyone has a wonderful and restful summer
