G5 T.V. "Constitution and Bill of Rights"

 

By Ellie and Anna

G5 Masters

 

Last Tuesday, Ms. Stover and I along with members of the G5 participated in a friendly golf game for our class auction item.  I had to shake off some rust during the round but had fun with Drew, Baha, Noah, Hunter, Jake, Sadie, and Katie.  In the end, Hunter was victorious!  Good times G5!

One Day Project "Kindness"

 

Inspired by a video writing prompt in class, the students wanted to create their own version of the lifevest video that showed how random acts of kindness will eventually come back to you in a positive way. This was written and directed by the students in G5. My only part in this was filming and the post production.

Memorial Day 2013

These heroes are dead. They died for liberty – they died for us. They are at rest. They sleep in the land they made free, under the flag they rendered stainless, under the solemn pines, the sad hemlocks, the tearful willows, and the embracing vines. They sleep beneath the shadows of the clouds, careless alike of sunshine or of storm, each in the windowless Place of Rest. Earth may run red with other wars – they are at peace. In the midst of battle, in the roar of conflict, they found the serenity of death. I have one sentiment for soldiers living and dead: cheers for the living; tears for the dead. — Robert G. Ingersoll

Thank You Dr. Engle

Dear 5th Grade Parents,
 
On May 10th, Dr. Gregory Engel, a family practitioner and addiction specialist at Swedish/Cherry Hill, spoke to the 5th graders about his interesting background and about some of the patients he encounters as he treats people with different types of addictions.  The students seemed eager to learn and had fantastic questions for Dr. Engel.
 
You might want to ask your student questions about:
 
1.  What is one of the most addictive substances Dr. Engel as seen in his practice and at what age is it usually started?
 
2.  How many chemicals are in a cigarette?
 
3.  How can we safely use medicine?
 
Answers:
 
1.  Tobacco.  Dr. Engel told us that his patients find it harder to stop tobacco than to stop alcohol or narcotic pain pill use.  Most people start smoking at the age of 15.  98% of drug users also smoke cigarettes!
 
2.  There are about 4,000 chemicals in a cigarette.  Of theses, 200 are poisonous and 60 can cause cancer.
 
3.  Only use prescription medicine that is prescribed to you and follow your doctor's directions.  For non-prescription medicine, always follow directions on the label.  Always make sure your parents know about the medicine you are taking.  Always ask your doctor if you have questions or concerns about any medicine.
