5th Grade

Course Description

Hey 5th Grade!
 
This is a great place to keep up on what we're doing as a class. I'll post updates here to help give some insight into how our class works together to achieve our goals!

Cutting snowflakes
The class learned how to cut snowflakes last week for the door decoration contest. These volunteers got creative and made extras for classroom decorations!
Modeling decimals
Moving onto multiplying decimals. Modeling the equation with blocks like these help the students visualize the process and gain deeper understanding. 
Hard at work!
This class has been hard at work! Here they are working on ELA centers, where they rotate between 3 different assignments. They are really getting the hang of their routines and responsibilities! 
Multiplication problems
"Math is fun!" "I love math!" "I'm starting to get the hang of multiplication!"
 
These are just a few of the wonderful things chorused by the 5th Graders before walking to lunch. They worked in small groups to solve these math problems on the board, then diligently practiced multiplying large numbers! 
Field trip to Gladish Community Center
The MCS 5th and 4th Graders got to see Collision of Rhythm at the Gladish Community Center this morning. We saw tap-dancing, piano, beatboxing, drumming, and body percussion! What a cool field trip!
US Geography practice
Eirene, Mette, Elliot T, and Anthony playing a social studies card game to study United States Geography. The class really enjoys these games!
Finding patterns
In our morning meeting today, we practiced finding and continuing patterns. Here is Ezra coming up with a pattern for the class to identify and continue. 
Kindness Kudo
5th Graders are role models for all of the elementary students. Today the 3rd Graders recognized a kind action of our 5th grade with a Kindness Kudo!
Finding magnetic materials
Today we used magnets to test and find magnetic materials in our classroom! Elliot M, Elliot T, and Hawk noticed that some of the classroom whiteboards are magnetic, while others are not.
