We had a pesto party! We 5th graders have made fresh pesto with the vegetation from the 5th grade garden. People made like chefs and made delicious pesto. Mr. Potter helped harvest the basil and other vegetables. Check our website later for photos. They will be uploaded shortly.
EFS UPDATE
In EFS we have been working to make a sustainable change. For example, a change some of us chose was to use less water. These changes are based on how the Native Americans lived such a sustainable life. Everyone has chosen a change to live a sustainable lifestyle. People in EFS will write a five paragraph essay and a letter from Chief Powhatan (Wahunsonacock) .
READING UPDATE
In reading we have been learning about the settlement Jamestown, Virginia. We have been doing stations to learn about Jamestown and how the colonists lived and died. Please subscribe to our old timey newspaper The Jamestown Gazette. The Jamestown Gazette is a fake newspaper that we will be writing and bringing home every Friday so that you can hear what we have been doing or you can look on here like you are doing right now.
MATH UPDATE
In math we have been learning to multiply and divide three digit numbers. We have been doing that with iconic and symbolic models. Also there will be a math test happening Tuesday November 3, Wednesday November 4, and Thursday November 5.
WRITING UPDATE
In writing we have been writing a non-history essay. We had choices to write from a good class pet to the best video game. These essays will be five paragraphs long. After we learn how to write a five paragraph essay we will write a essay about Jamestown, Virginia.
