Wagon Work

The 5th graders are currently on their journey to Oregon - which has been a lot of work! The wagon teams purchased supplies for the trip, and have been sketching and journaling on all that they have experienced on their way.

Michael Buckley - the Author!

Author Michael Buckley, creator of the Sisters Grimm and Nerds book series, charmed the fifth graders with stories of his many adventures and his work on television shows like Rugrats, Late Night with David Letterman and The Fairly Oddparents. I think many kids were inspired to become writers after his chat with us!

307 Buddies

For our school's Read Aloud Day, 307 read books with their buddies in Ms. Capua's class.

Magic City Workshops

Lauren from BAM came into 5th grade classrooms to talk about the Magic City performance we will be seeing on February 9th.  She discussed basic puppetry, and student flash-wrote mini-plays to perform for their classes.

5th Grade Debates

The fifth grade has finished performing their debates. Topics included school uniforms, video games being considered a sport, assigned seats, plastic bag bans and Halloween celebrations.  We had some creative arguments and top-notch persuaders this year!
