Our current IB planner focuses on explorations. We have learned about Spanish explorers, and we are now learning about French explorers. To study French explorers the students broke up into small groups and taught one another.

Inferring with Frankenstein
We've been learning about making inferences when we read. To practice inferring we created Frankensteins. We inferred, or made educated guesses, about Frankenstein's favorite holiday, color, movie, and book. Even though we do not know the exact answer to these questions, we can still draw conclusions about what the answer may be based on what we know about Frankenstein.

Sheff Cup Part 2, :(
Wednesday afternoon we played Mrs. White's class in the Sheff Cup Finals. Our class put up a good fight and played hard, but we fell short with a score of 3-2 in favor of Mrs. White's class.
STAR Tests
Wednesday we went to the computer lab and took a STAR test to see if our reading levels had changed over the past 2 months. Over 75% of our class has had growth in their level. WOO HOO!!

LSM in the AM
This is a link to watch our school's morning show, LSM in the AM. We do not have any students from our class that participate in the production of the show, but it is still very neat to watch and know that it is a student produced program.
Fifth grade students are responsible for LSM in the AM. Tryouts are held in the spring so your child will have the opportunity to try out for next year's crew in the spring.
