Couldn’t imagine a better way to start a morning than reading to fab 5th grade classes! #dg58pride #kingsley58 @MrsFuchs58 @MrD_58

These are just SOME of the awesome final ecosystem projects! So proud of all the hard work they put into these! #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

Our 3D ecosystems are really coming to life! The creativity is fantastic! 🌊🌴🌳🐻‍❄️ #dg58pride #kingsley58

Today we spent some time writing happy mail to give to the other 5th grade class. The letters were filled with reasons why the students were awesome, positive quotes, and some pictures! The looks on their faces when they were delivered…priceless #dg58pride #kingsley58 ☺️✉️

Kingsley staff having fun with our sports theme! Happy Halloween! #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

We love a good themed stem challenge! The students had to work together to come up with a “bone bridge” @MrD_58 #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

What a fun Tuesday! We worked on making our river trail in math and dissected owl pellets in science! 🦉😊🏞️ #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

@MrsSnyder5 Love this idea!! I would love to know the details of it 😊

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

We had such a fun time studying for our first math test! Jeopardy was a hit! 👏🏼📖😊 #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Principal Brewster @BrewsterDG58]

Added three more Positive Office Referrals to the wall of fame! Way to go Kingsley students! We love celebrating positive role models who lead by example. #kingsley58 #dg58pride @GajewskiEleni

In science we talked about what plants need in order to grow. Now we’re using that knowledge to grow our very own pepper and tomato plants! We should start seeing some sprouts very soon! 🌱🍅🫑 #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

Today we “flew” to different ecosystems! We investigated and journaled how the living and non-living things interacted and sketched what we saw!🔭📓✈️ #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

This week we investigated different dimensions of boxes using 24 cubes. We used Google Jamboard to show our thinking and all of our work! The students also had a chance to explain their thinking & answers. 🎉😊 #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

One of my favorite activities to do in the beginning of the year! Doing a book tasting gives the students an opportunity to find new books and genres they might not have seen before! #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

Another fun day in 5th grade! We spent some time learning and playing our first workplace game of the year. All smiles 😃 #dg58pride #kingsley58

[Kristin Fuchs @MrsFuchs58]

First two days of the year ✅ I’m having so much fun getting to know all my awesome 5th graders! It’s going to be a great year! #dg58pride #kingsley58
