After reading Wonder, some 5th Grade superstars chose to make board games as their final project. Today, we play two wonder trivias, Wonder Candy Land, and Who Took Auggie’s Astronaut Helmet? Clue-Style game! @RJPalacio

5th grade held their own Constitutional Convention to form our own classroom rules last week and today we signed our Constitution into effect 📜 such a fun addition to our government unit!

What’s YOUR word? 5th graders simplified their resolutions to one word they want to embody in 2021 and made an action plan to do so ⭐️

5th grade authors published their Christmas narratives today! So proud of their hard work! 🎅🏻🎄

Who’s the imposter?! Fifth grade friends have never begged so much for test review—thanks, @gimkit 🔍

Total #teacherbrag because I LOVE how our constellations came out! Fifth grade friends did a ~stellar~ job with these ⭐️💫

Fifth grade scientists are learning about the Periodic Table this week! What better way to have some fun then to Disney-ify it! 🔍🏰

STEAM challenge Friday! Students had 20 minutes to construct a catapult out of plastic spoons, popsicle sticks, and rubber bands (and no directions!) 💪🏻

Parts of Speech review with @gimkit today! I don’t know who is more obsessed with this learning tool, me or my students 💻

[Alyssa Soldano @MissSoldano]

New year, same problems! Decided to utilize my bulletin board as a “No Name” station. When students don’t get back an assignment, they know where to check! #fifthgradefriends

5th grade friends worked together to create our own Sketchbook of Impossible Things based on Ally from #FishinaTree ✏️💭

Review with @gimkit in 5th grade! My fifth grade friends loved studying this way—it was fun and engaging because it felt like a video game, but it was quiet and repetitive and self-correcting (perfect for social studies review) 🎮

My favorite thing about my fifth grade name tags is the notes section! Perfect to stick a Post-It for quick reminders in a way that is just between the teacher and student ✏️

I LOVE this! 📖

Fifth grade brain break: how do you successfully get the wolf, chicken, and grain across the river?! 🐺

[Alyssa Soldano @MissSoldano]

Fifth grade’s first novel study is one of my favorites: Fish in a Tree by Linda Mullaly Hunt! It’s always rewarding when students beg for “just one more chapter today” ⭐️

[Alyssa Soldano @MissSoldano]

@MrsJessicaRyan Sr. Ruthanne is wonderful. So excited to be working there! 🥰

Beyond excited (& definitely nervous) to be starting my teaching career in 5th grade at St. Raymond’s this school year! Excited to be setting up my very first classroom this week & looking forward to a year of late night lesson planning and countless trips to the copy machine 👩🏻‍🏫
