Hands-on Nonfiction Writing: all 5th graders researched, built, and wrote about a famous world landmark. Next up: a Google Earth virtual field trip!
EFA+ 5th graders are busy preparing their collections for the Monologue Museum!
Please plan to join us on Tuesday, March 12th from 6:30-7:30 for the All School Art Show: True Colors and the 5th Grade Monologue Museum.
For science, 4th grade students worked in teams to create models that show what happens to light as it enters an animal’s eye and ends up as an image in the brain.
Friday evening EFA+ hosted the Science Fair! There were many amazing entries, including a kid (baby goat), and a hover board. Thank you to all who participated and attended.
Students in K03 used an Arts Integrated Cooperative Structure called "Snowball Fight" to complete math equations.
Parts of the equations were written on colorful pieces of paper, then students had a snowball fight with the papers, then they worked together to find the pieces of the equations and put them in order.
How do you get 5th graders excited about analyzing parts of speech? Give them (empty) boxes of food!
