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:

Hello All,
Welcome to Week 3! Today begins my weekly post updating you about what we will be completing in class this week! Tomorrow, your child will recieve all their work back that they turned into me on Friday. On each assignment, I have written Try Again if they did not complete the project completely or have many errors. It is their job to fix it and get it back to me for credit ASAP! Like promised, we will start highlighting our project trees tomorrow to show where your student is individually in each subject. And your child will begin posting their work on their individual blogs!
Language Arts:
Math:
History
Art
Every project that I have listed will be worked on in class and you can find them in your child’s red folder. However, multiple students are not finishing these assignments in class and may need to work on them at home. Help keep your child organized and up to date! However, as 5th graders, they should begin holding themselves responsible. I am trying to promote responsibility and independence among our class!

*Also, if any parents are interested in art and possibly teaching art to our class I would love to talk to you! We have art every Tuesday from 1:45-2:45. We are working on Art from the Renaissance right now. Please let me know if you are interested, I would love your help!
Great work fifth graders!
