A look back at our week 10/10

5th Grade started their week with some "sweet" work on fractions and the all tricky concept of reducing.









Simone tried to get us to understand her silly phrase!

We filled up our stamina poster!  So we played the playlist we had been working on, enjoyed cookies from Kamdyn and had some well earned free time. There was a lot of singing along and even some dance moves :)




Arron's turn!!


We helped one another with writing by listening to eachother's stories and offering advice





Faith was our rockstar this week!  She even brought her 2 adorable puppies in.



Can we guess Kamdyn's phrase?


Weekly Kahoot it tournment from our Scholastic News magazine. This week we worked in teams to top the leader board.





Abi's turn!!!


The Cardinal Skippers performed for us on Friday and our very own Addison ROCKED it with her abilities. We were so proud and amazed by her.






Weekly teambuilding for the week was locking hands and keeping a balloon (or 2) up in the air. We couldn't unlock our hands OR use our feet. It proved to be harder than we thought.



And Adyan Moe tries a tricky one!





Looking forward to another great week this week.

Addison has "good and plenty" reasons to smile. She became our first 10 book finisher this week. Way to go Addison!


My morning math group showed up as triplets!

  


Addison had a chance to get the class a point with her silly phrase.




We reviewed our genre study from a few weeks ago with a quick review. Students used book orders to cut out titles that matched the genre.  It was a also a great way to get to know possible titles we were interested in reading.






Both grades have been strengthening their x facts with a game called Knock Out. Students love the friendly competition of it.


Jaden ended our day perfectly this week!

Picture day today!!



Sophie recorded #10 in the book challenge!



We take time to share books we are reading with each other so others get ideas of different genres and to hear the excitement so many have for all these great books!




"Fun day" today! Everyone had their homework in on time to participate. It's great to see all the different choices students make. We have everything from chrome books, to drawing, games with friends, personal devices and even working on 40 book challenge sheets!







Our Penpals wrote back to us today!!!!







 Thank you SO much for stocking our cabinets with snacks!


Austin ended our day today.  "Mom has beef burps."

Marvelous Monday- 10/3

I cannot believe it's October already! We started off the month with a great day!



For the first time this year, EVERYONE had their 100 minutes of reading done for the week. So, we spun our class rewards spinner and landed on eating lunch in the classroom. 



We did our team challenge today because the 5th graders were occupied in S.S last Friday. This week, they had to put themselves in order by birthday- without talking. It was VERY difficult for many not to cheat and talk, but all groups were successful! 







Tyler started his rockstar week with his 3 favorite things.




Sophie was the perfect ending to our day as she was successful in getting the class to say her silly phrase.
