Fifth Grade Engineers

Submitted by arlene.haymond on
For science, Mrs. Herrmann's students had to use limited resources to engineer an earthquake-proof building. Their building had to be built to code too. They tested it on our purple jello to see how long it could stand during the jello earthquake.

State Capitol Virtual Field Trip

Submitted by arlene.haymond on

Ms. Price's class had the opportunity to take a virtual field trip of the State Capitol building. It was a great experience. They learned about the history of the Capitol and saw some amazing rooms.  They even got to do a question/answer session with Representative Thurston at the end. However, Ms. Price thinks having sack lunches in the classroom was their favorite thing.

"Kindness is Contagious, Catch It!"

Submitted by arlene.haymond on

The 5th Grade Kindness Squad visited classrooms last week to read a story about kindness and explain their February activity. Each teacher received kindness notes for their students to fill out when they receive an act of kindness. The teachers then return the notes to the kindness squad to be posted in the hall.

Gossip is Like Glitter

Submitted by arlene.haymond on

In Mrs. Lane's class, we talked about gossip and how it can spread and hurt our feelings and others. We passed glitter from person to person trying to make sure none was left on anyone’s hands and there was no glitter on the floors. We tried to pick up our gossip and rumors that we spread. Not only were students not able to get it off of their hands, but in the process of trying, they got it on their desks, their clothes, in their hair, on the floor, and pretty much everywhere else imaginable. It was an amazing community building activity!
