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.

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.

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.

End of year
5th Grade is in research mode. Our students are using their research skills in the library to work and complete their state books. These are a part of their end of year Social Studies project. I am glad that the Library is here to assist them in the process.

Escaping the Giant Wave
Our 5th graders have continued to listen to Escaping the Giant Wave. We are now getting to the best part. They have also continued to borrow books and work on their SRA’s when we don’t have a read aloud session.

The Big Wave
5E is enjoying the book, Escaping the Giant Wave, a story that talks about a boy their own age who escapes from a Tsunami with his little sister by fleeing just in time to higher grounds. This story is especially touching now since the Tsunami took place in Japan, and it is something that they can relate to in their own time.

Twins Day
Were we seeing double in May!? Well, not exactly… it was TWIN DAY! It was so much fun to pick a friend and dress alike for the day- even the teachers got in on the action. We read books about friendship and did partner activities where teamwork was the name of the game. Do you think you could find your match just by making animal noises? It’s harder (and noisier) than it sounds!

Go Green
We went green in April. We celebrated Earth Day by reading about ways that kids can make a difference and care for the Earth. We even read that the Bible says, The Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it. (Genesis 2:15). So, taking care of the planet is not just a good idea, but it’s something that God told us to do. We each planted some seeds in a recycled cup that we decorated. When the seeds become flowers we can replant them outside where they are not only beautiful, but also good for the environment.

Celebrate
After all the hard work the students did learning their dances, we decided to celebrate and have a party!
