Investigating the SETTING

 We are reading a very challenging book right now so we took some time to work on the various settings of the book so far. Students were broken up into pairs to dig back into the text for details and then draw their version of the setting. It was a great activity and the kids really enjoyed doing it.

5th grade ROCKS

Dictionary Skills & St. Patty's Day

 Vocabulary is a huge component in any given book, story, poem, etc. We have been learning all sorts of new and interesting words this year and we have come to understand that the dictionary is an important and useful tool.

 Team work at its best.

Today GES has pulled out all the stops and just about everyone is wearing green in honor of St. Patty's Day and our principals favorite holiday. I love the students enthusiasm and excitement.
