Week in Review 5/1-5/5

Miss Crowley and Miss Johnson here! We are Ms. Baker and Ms. Fisher’s student teachers this semester. This week was our classroom takeover week and we were in charge of running the class for this last week. It’s been a lot of work and we’ve been learning a lot.

This week:

• We reviewed our fraction skills and took a final fractions concept quiz.
• We learned about economics and what it means to budget and earn a profit. Our fifth graders became shopkeepers and competed for the business of our fourth graders who became pioneers buying supplies for the journey along the Oregon Trail.
• We visited the Marshall garden where our students helped water the plants, repair a leaky water pipe, and plant new asparagus plants.
• We took a walking field trip to Francis Short Pond where the students learned about life at the pond and water chemistry.

Looking Ahead:

• Next week, we will be finishing our novel Thunder Rolling in the Mountains and reviewing measurement and data.
• We will be gardening again Wednesday from 9 AM – 11 AM, wear sunscreen and dress accordingly!
• Save the Dates:
• Fifth Grade Graduation
• Picture Canyon Field Trip
•
