First Week of School

During our first week of 5th grade,we've practiced the procedures and routines, learned about the curriculum, and even tried our hand at gardening! (Video to come!) We're excited for our last year of elementary school and even created our own class rules!

Be respectful
Be prepared
Be on task

These rules will encourage us to practice R.O.S.E. and become real leaders and role models in our school. Here is our first video of the school year, in which we show you our assisted reading strategies.

Read this article on page 6, study the pictures, and compare and contrast the primates featured in the article. Also give your opinion about these unique animals. What do you think of them?
