It’s LA morning in #CaedmonGrade5 - Mrs. Howell is introducing the final #CaedmonWriting project of the year - a memoir of their time at Caedmon. Parents are here to help their students brainstorm about what has happened and how they have grown throughout their #CaedmonStory !!

We made a paper city block in our #CaedmonMath 3D geometry unit. Unfortunately an earthquake hit it. But we did learn about volume, surface area, and lateral surface area.

Wisdom is not found in textbooks alone, but in the moments of laughter, the quiet reflections, and the ability to find joy in the simple things that often go unnoticed.

What happens to the area of a polygon when you double the length of the sides? The area of a square quadruples. Does that work for all polygons? #CaedmonGrade5 invited our parents to #CaedmonMath class to discover the answer with their children!

#CaedmonGrade5 connects poetry with urban nature and nature journaling. We read poems about two flowers that can be found planted on city streets and then we sketched them in our nature journals, using close observation. Spring is sprung!

#CaedmonKindergarten teach their book buddies the board game Monster Factory and decide to try to make the biggest monster possible following the rules of the game. Can they make a monster with ALL the tiles?

#CaedmonGrade5 #CaedmonSocialStudies explores ancient cultures and identity. What could embody both better than cylinder seals - the equivalent of a signature. We try our hand at making our own!

The view from the #CaedmonGrade5 hike in Merriman Park. Making nature a living, breathing part of education is a key component of Montessori curriculum and no one does that better than Mrs. Howell.

The task: Build a structure that will hold the most books. You only get ten index cards, eight paper clips, and forty minutes. What would you do? #CaedmonGrade5 has some great ideas!
