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!
Hello Fifth Grade Parents:
The tracker for Zingy this quarter is ready so please have your kids work on them at home so they’ll be up to date in class. I handed them out a copy, but if you would like one for yourself, the link of the PDF is above.
Thank you!
Ms. Salazar
On Monday we had our bridge building contest- the bridges that can hold the most weight win extra credit!
We tied a 5-gallon bucket to the bridges and filled with water until bridges snapped:
Bridge contest on Monday- the bridges that can hold the most weight will earn extra credit, and be posted on the blog!

For Project #6 in Science, students will be assigned one of these species that we saw on our field trip to Torrey Pines. Students have instructions for this project in their binders, and will work on this in the computer lab:
Wild Cucumber Marah macrocarpus
Torrey Pine Pinus torreyana
Monkey Flower Mimulus aurantiacus
Yerba Santa Eriodictyon crassifolium Continue reading
Thank you to our wonderful chaperones!
We will be in the computer lab this week beginning our Species Census project. Students will learn all about the tide pool species we found on our trip.

* The latest STEM Project from Mr Major and Mr Doar: LEARN the engineering principles you must consider to make a fast boat (drag, propulsion, etc.) 2. CREATE your own boat that applies those principles, test and refine it until you have the fastest boat you can build 3. SHARE the creation in a contest and on this blog!
