Learning the Ropes of WOW

Today during our wet recess we were able to get outside under the canopy and learn the new stations for our extra activity time (WOW). Fifth grade has its very own cart full of materials to keep us active. In math we worked on developing an understanding of the concepts of factors and multiples and will start solving number puzzles tomorrow. We worked with partners and shared our first draft of our informational article and then turned it in for Mrs. Valentino to give us feedback. We wrote a response to our independent reading. In science we learned about physical and chemical changes. Mr. DeAtely burned paper and mixed vinegar and baking soda. He did this to show a chemical and a physical change. In History Alive we worked on map making skills dealing with the continents and the oceans. Our first day in Spanish will be Thursday at 11:15, we are looking forward to it! We sang the Fifty Nifty United States in music.

Working Out for Wellness.

It's an AISD initiative to add more structured activity/excercise time to the school day: Largely in response to the reality of every third day PE rather than daily PE.
