5th grade scholars are working hard during DI time in their classroom. During this time, students work on independent reading, completion of super sentences, getting instruction in small groups, and more!
Working on the first draft of Compare & Contrast papers involves brainstorming and developing ideas first. Students are using a variety of methods to get ready for authoring. So cool!
Join us for 12 Days of Reindeer Games starting December 6th!

It’s the last week to participate in Coins for a Cause! Don’t forget to have your students bring in spare change. All of the money raised goes to Gratiot County Hope House to support their homeless shelter. The classroom that raises the most will win a PIZZA PARTY! 🍕
We hope your families are staying warm and enjoying the winter weather! Bundle up and enjoy the time together! See everyone Monday!

Snow on the ground makes for great recess activities!!
Scholars in 5th grade are working on a compare and contrast research paper on animal and plant cells. Scholars are using a technique called graffiti notes, where they answer research questions as groups, on chart paper, placed around the room. Every 4 minutes they rotate to the next location, synthesizing information from their informational text and placing this information on chart paper. Then this chart paper with an entire class set of notes will be used as rough drafts are written for this research paper.
Reminder-
This Friday is a half day of school. It is also the last day of Trimester 1.
