Pre Valentine's Day Fun!

The fifth graders put their creative talents to use constructing their Valentine "mailboxes" to receive the Valentines from their classmates.  We love because God first loved us!!

Technology At Work!

The Fifth graders use iPads and classroom computers to do further research for their nonficition book reports.  Students LOVE using technology!!!!

Chapel message News - Mark Your Calendars

The fifth grade will present the chapel message on Wednesday, April 17th, at 8:15 a.m. in the sanctuary!  Please make plans to attend and worship with us.

The fifth graders enjoyed using the science lab to view plant and animal cells under the microscopes. Big fun looking at tiny things!!

The Fifth grade used modeling clay to construct boats to test which shapes, not only floated, but held the most weight.  They had a great time constructing and reconstructing the boats.  Ask a fifth grader which shape held the most weight!  It was a great experience.

Interactive Science!!

The fifth graders recently completed a virtual lab utilizing the interactive science curriculum and our Smartboard.  On an adventure to medieval times, the virtual lab had students determining the possible ways to help the knights in a castle use simple machines to lift a wooden box.  Levers, pulleys and fulcrums were manipulated by the students to complete the tasks in the virtual lab.  Students enjoy the virtual labs in addition to the digital lessons.  Stay tuned for our next adventure.

Fifth graders have settled into the routine of a new school year well.  We welcomed one new student to our class.  They are all a great joy to have as students.  We are busy with the new math curriculum and still enjoying the interactive science curriculum and hands on fun.  Band and choir began this week.  We can't wait for the Christmas concert to see all their accomplishments.
