Math Poem
Now 5th grade is beginning to understand why they needed so much math. We are learning Algebra and to begin 5th grade had to learn an neat poem that helps them to remember what comes first , second and last. PEMDAS (Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally), This is what helped 5th grade remember Parenthesis, Exponents, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Subtraction. As long as they followed the rules of PEMDAS they were able to do well with Aunt Sally.

Let’s Go To The Movies
5th grade couldn’t wait to see Chronicles of Narnia the Voyage of the Dawn Treader. Especially after reading the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. After the movie we had a discussion about all the underlining themes in the movie. We came to the conclusion that three of the ideas in the movie were about 1. In the journey in our life we must know and believe Jesus is near us, he will never leave us nor forsake us. 2. Face your fears don’t let fear govern you. 3. Love yourself for who you are because you were fearfully and wonderfully made.

Relay Races
The students did relay races with obstacle courses. First they ran a regular race with batons. Then we added hurdles, hula hoops, and finally an obstacle that they slid under. After they did all of them separately, we add all three obstacle courses together. Students had to step through the hoop, hop over the hurdle and then slide under. The students enjoy it.

Spring Celebration
The students practiced on their two songs for the spring celebration. They also worked with the flags and streamers. They took time to go in the sanctuary to work on their routine so they could get the feel of how it would be on stage.

Muscle Builders
The students have been working out their muscles. After our warm up exercises, we worked out our muscles to make them strong. They would do pushups and tug a war with their legs. They used their hands and feet to make a bridge. Then the students would lay on their stomach and try to touch their head with their toe.

Spring Celebration
For Elementary we were working on a dance routine for the spring celebration. We learned how to work in groups. The song we worked on was Trading my sorrows. We learned sign language and working in pairs and stretching lines. It was very interesting. I left the streamers and flags for last because I wanted them to learn the dance steps first. Then at the end of the song, they learned together how to move the flags and stemmers together. Lastly we did the intro of the song and put the whole dance routine together. They did a great job.

Scooter Races
The students in elementary did scooter racing teams. The students learned different ways of using the scooter. One is we sat on them and used our feet, second we laid on our stomach and used our hands and feed, third we sat on our knees and just used our hands and last we went backwards using our feet.

Bugs!
5th grade is again in research mode. This time they must research and study facts about an insect that they were assigned to. They are finding amazing facts about their bugs and they are completing their end of year insect science projects. We are also learning a lot as we help them along.
