Library Day

Today was our first trip to the library as fifth grade students. Ms. Gooch overviewed all of this year's Bluebonnnet books. Many students in the class have read almost all 20 of them already. There were only three on the shelf for checkout so we will wait patiently until some are turned in. Ms. Gooch also reminded students that these books are also at the public library. In math students played a math game called Close to Zero. They have this tonight for homework. The game builds the ability to determine the difference between two numbers mentally and continues the develpoment of reasonableness and estimation skills. Today in Science the students used thier observation skills as they explored a substance called "Oobleck". Is it a solid or is it a gas? Ask a fifth grader! In History Alive today students found points on a map after taking a quiz on longitude and latitude. Back to School night is tomorrow night! It is from 6:00pm-8:30pm. K-2 classroom presentations will be from 6:00-7:00 followed by a brief PTA meeting in the cafeteria from 7:00-7:30. 3rd-5th grade classroom presentations will be from 7:30-8:30. Fifth grade parents will be visiting all three teachers classrooms ust as the students do each day! Hope to see you there!
