Week 8 Highlights

Happy November! October was a jam-packed month full of activities and lots of events! 5th graders just returned from camp on Friday afternoon, and we had a wonderful time. I will post pictures along with a student post in the following week. Because we had a short week (two days) in the classroom, this will be a short post with a longer "Camp Highlights" post that will follow...

Highlights:
-We had our math test on Tuesday before we left for camp. We will look over our tests and students will have a chance to retake their tests if they did not receive 80% or higher.
-Go-cart challenges were in full swing on Monday and Tuesday with building self-propelled go-carts using rubber bands. This week, we will be wrapping up our Models & Designs science unit.

-On Tuesday, we also celebrated the end of October with some fall activities! We made caramel apples, and decorated our own mini-pumpkins. It was so fun to see students get creative and use the different supplies we had to decorate their pumpkins. Yes, 4th and 5th graders need to have fun with arts and crafts too! :).  Thank you to families who helped being apples on such a short notice!

-Lastly, we will have our second annual Thanksgiving Potluck on Friday, 11/21! If you are able, please sign up using Volunteer Spot to bring an item to share with the class.  Here is a picture of our spread from last year!  Yum!!

Thank you for reading and look forward to the next post!
