Fifth Grade News

Fifth graders are studying the Human Body Systems for Health and Science class from now until the winter break. Students will be working in teams to research a body system, write a written report and present their reports to the class using either poster boards, power point, or smart board. Along with the project students visited Des Moines University’s simulation labs and experts will be coming into the classroom.

In Writer’s Workshop our communication with our International pen pals is going strong. We have been exchanging letters through the mail as well as emails. Using the computer lab we also conducted our first video conference with our Italian pen pals. In grammar we are preparing for our unit 2 test, which will be on common and proper nouns, singular and plural possessive nouns and abbreviations.

Students are finishing their American Revolution unit in Social Studies. They will be creating a book about people form the American Revolution time period. The next unit will be focusing on the Constitution.
