PROTEST!
The 5th graders learned about colonial protests in Social Studies with Mrs. Simmons. Then they took their show on the road! Here are pictures of our protestors protesting the Proclamation of 1773, the Stamp Act, the tax on tea and the closing of Boston Harbor.
Solar System!
Mrs. Hussein has just begun our new science unit, the solar system. Today she introduced how day and night are observed on Earth in relationship to the sun. We used some of our new science materials purchased by Ms. Awada and donated by our fabulous parents!
Rocket Ryan Came for a Visit!
We had a special visitor~Rocket Ryan! He came to demonstrate the principles of Physical Science. We each got to perform 5 different experiments that demonstrated forces acting on objects. Check out our pictures!
This photo shows Rocket Ryan explaining the basic concepts of physics that we’re going to learn!
Here Rocket Ryan demonstrates how to poke a huge pin in a balloon without popping it.
