5K spent some time in the LBC yesterday learning what it’s like in our connected classroom!

Sorry wrong book club book! It's Because of Winn-Dixie by Kate DiCamillo @KateDiCamillo

5K in Music- learning about drums and how to follow a leader… drum circle skills on display!

5K practiced book club listening skills … while debating skydiving vs scuba diving! We’re learning how to set ourselves up for book club success before the real clubs begin!

5K is learning about how writers use double hyphens! See word study in action as the class shares their double hyphen sentences.

In Art this week, 5K started sculpting with model magic- impressive beginnings!

And here’s the filters in the middle of testing! Side note- it really was an unpleasant odor, but despite the science centers best efforts…no 5th grader was sent to the nurse over the bad smell

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

Here is 5K working on water filters like @5LiEES! See the construction conversations in progress!

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

From earlier this week- 5K was treated to an honors concert (strings, band and chorus). We had representatives in both strings and chorus! Check out their amazing rendition of a song from Rent: https://t.co/jp6xcU6Jpb

5K had a chance to swap classrooms with 5Li today! Here we are checking out their essays and leaving a kind compliment. @5LiEES

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

1/4 Debating homework or no homework! Kids have researched, committed to one side, prepared arguments and volunteered to speak across the grade! I’m so proud of this group!

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

We’re just starting to dig into our new literacy units in 5K, and our first day of research and conversation was SO impressive- homework or not??

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

Loved this 5K created food web! Created by our own self-documented photos and created from scratch on slides. Great explanation of the results too!

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

Lots to see here! 5K has our first round of scientific sketching for our terrarium ecosystems.

[Mr. Kerr @Kerrclass]

It’s our first official drafting day in 5K today- students writing their own real stories for a long block of time, working on stamina and fluency. Families- you’ll be seeing these stories in a few weeks!
