MrsVanZeipel's Class

Fifth graders using Twitter to learn about the world around us.

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@SnoPUD came in to teach us about basic circuits! We learned about open and closed circuits & that short circuits can be dangerous (and hot! 🔥) We also learned our bodies conduct electricity like wires! You can build circuits at home with supervision. #fifthgradescience #vzclass

This poster is going to help us answer questions fully at a fifth grade level when responding to questions about what we've read. We are trying to use evidence in our responses! #vzclass #writtenresponse #youngwriters #evidence #RACEwriting #reading #fifthgradeliteracy

Check out our ecocolumns! We have created a self-sustaining ecosystem for our organisms. We have fish, snails, snail egg sacks, isopods, various plants, and crickets (before they died 😢). #vzclass #ecosystems #science #5thgrade #5thgraderocks

We are beginning our student blogs today! Check them out later to see what we have to say. https://t.co/0jR2NH55QC

We have a question about the moon. Does anyone know why the moon looks red some months? #fifthgradescience

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

We learned the moon phases today! Do you know the names of the phases? This video raps about the phases! #vzclass

@TheJayCanaday We looked at our calendar, and we are wondering if you could come on May 16, 18, 22, or 23? Thank you for considering this! #art #vzclass 🎨

Look how tall our wheat has grown in so little time! Thank you #WashingtonWheatFarmers! #wheatweek #fifthgradescience #vzclass

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

The best way to grow wheat is in silt, sand, and clay with compost! We're growing our own wheat. This is one of our wheat plants. #WheatWeek

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@TheJayCanaday We would love to have you come in. We want to make something new and unique!

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

We're trying to read more over our Spring Break! Good recommendations! #SpringBreak2017 #20BookChallenge #vzclass https://t.co/BJh7T3lVIL

[Gene Luen Yang @geneluenyang]

Looking for a good read?

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@TheJayCanaday We paint, use oil and chalk pastels, watercolor, etc. We try to replicate famous pieces of art. Mrs. VZ says you might be coming for art?! 🎨

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@JessiCallahan So cool! Thanks for sharing this with us! We have been writing Endangered Animal reports! See you tomorrow! #vzclass 🦆✈️

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@jvg Trees are shelter & food to animals! If a piece of an ecosystem's gone, the system's unbalanced! Clear cutting's bad anywhere! #science

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

There are many endangered species in the Amazon and ecosystems need all its parts to function! #vzclass #DayOfForests #ecosystem 🌳🐦🐍🐆 https://t.co/KLzVrbITS2

Last September we built ecocolumns with fish. All but one died! We named it Survivor! #vzclass #classpet

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

@TheJayCanaday We thought about it, but the most unusual thing is how they all match our personalities perfectly! (or as close as can be) ⚡️

[MrsVanZeipel's Class @vanzeipelclass]

These wands reflect our personalities really well! Let us know if you want to hear about more #HARRYPOTTER wands! #vzclass #wands ⚡️🦉
