G5 Life

Olympic Gold Medalist Anna Cummins visits Stevenson

 

Anna Cummins from the U.S. Rowing team came and talked with the G5 this past Tuesday.  She spoke about her experiences in the Olympics and talked about setting goals.  The students enjoyed hearing her talk about the Olympic Games and they all got to touch her silver and gold medal.  WOW!

G5 Life

The G5 continues to work hard everyday!  Not only are they motivated to learn, they enjoy learning together!  I'm glad to be part of this class and look forward to teaching everyday.  

"G5!"

Guess where...

MLK Day "I have a dream"

Story Path "Colonial Boston"

   

G5 students work hard to build Colonial Boston 1765.

G5 Learning

The G5 has been actively engaged in learning since returning to school Monday.  In Math, we continue to work with decimals comparing and recognizing equivalent decimals in tenths, hundredths, and thousandths.  In Science, they started a new unit focused on environments.  Students also started studying Colonial Boston.  Finally, in Connections, the students started a new unit titled "Who are Leaders".  Recently, they compared and contrasted heroes vs. leaders, learned about inferencing, and were introduced to some new vocabulary.  

Reading Buddies

This is a little movie trailer of the G5 with their reading buddies.  Every week, the G5 reads with Ms. Luwe's Kindergarten class.  The 5th graders model how good readers read and help the kids apply strategies of sounding out words, blending, chunking words, and using pictures to gain understanding.  You can tell by the slideshow that they love their reading buddies!
