This week the children were troupers as they took the NYS Common Core ELA exam. We are so proud of them.
A highlight from this week was conducting experiments in the lab that
allowed the children to identify both a physical and chemical change. Check out the pictures below.
Today we are celebrating Earth Day with the entire 5th grade. We will be watching Disney Earth and eating healthy snacks provided by the class parents. Thank you Class Moms!
The children are enthralled by our new read aloud, Crash by Jerry Spinelli. This week we discussed the meaning of irony and how it is utilized throughout the text. We also compared and contrasted the families of the two main characters. This involved a great deal of inferring.
We continue to review math concepts in preparation for the NYS Common Core Math Exam the children will be taking next week.
Have a wonderful weekend.
