Students have been learning lots about the Civil War this quarter. Our last project was to create a Life-size person of the Civil War. Students researched soldiers, women, and generals. Surrounding each life-size person are facts and information about their person (which is hard to see in the pictures, but ask your son/daughter about it!)
Below you will see their creations:
(Tatym was in the group above, but was absent when the picture was taken.)

Hello All,
This years Poetry Competition is at the end of this month! Every 5th grader will be participating in the class Poetry Competition during the week of April 20th (specific date will be announced later). Top three 5th grade students will move on to compete in the school-wide, OTA Poetry Olympics, on April 23rd.
In order to become prepared, each student needs to choose a 5th grade Core Knowledge poem to memorize! Students will be judged on how well they can recite the poem, speaking clearly, understanding the poem’s rhythm, meaning, and overall tone.
You can find all the 5th grade Core Knowledge Poems HERE –> Poetry Competition 5th grade
This week in class each student will be choosing a poem to focus on for the next 2.5 weeks. Once your child has chosen a poem, I encourage you to help them practice at home… you can help remind them to recite the poems while doing everyday tasks, like driving to school, at the dinner table, to and from athletic practices, etc.
Yesterday was a big day in Science! 5th grade has been growing different types of lettuce and it was ready to eat! Each member of our class was in charge of watering their plant over the last few months and using their knowledge of plant science to help make their lettuce grow. They spent science picking their lettuce and making salad!
We had a blast today at the symphony! The performance was really great- they played songs from Harry Potter and Star Wars! Here are some photos that capture our fun day!
This quarter half our class is practicing the piano, using Piano Maestro, and let me tell you…they are rockin it!!
