Please share with us what you read tonight for homework!  

 

 

Social Studies: SLAVERY

Students have started a new chapter in social studies learning about the West African Slave trade, the Middle Passage, and their arrival to America. The pictures show the students engaged in a simulation to learn about the awful conditions and dilemmas the slaves faced during their journey to America.

Peter and the Wolf Assembly

The G5 watched the Seattle Philharmonic perform Peter and the Wolf. The students provided the narration of the story while the Seattle Philharmonic played the musical score. A shout out goes to Amelia and Mariko for representing the G5!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

Wishing your families a Happy Thanksgiving!  

Have you seen the "Fast Turkeys"?

 

Turkey Bowl 2011

Today, the G5 students played a friendly game of touch football to build teamwork and cooperative spirit.  Also, for the first time in G5 history, the Turkey Bowl ended in a tie.   If they weren't playing, they were busy cheering for their classmates.  Way to go G5!!

TEAM REGALA

 

GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION SYSTEM (GIS) Field Trip

The G5 visited Bellevue City Hall today to learn about Geographic Information Systems.

What is GIS?

A geographic information system (GIS) integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying all forms of geographically referenced information.

GIS allows us to view, understand, question, interpret, and visualize data in many ways that reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the form of maps, globes, reports, and charts.

A GIS helps you answer questions and solve problems by looking at your data in a way that is quickly understood and easily shared.
