Enjoying the Beautiful Big Backyard

What a beautiful week in The Big Backyard! We have all enjoyed lots of activities outside this week including learning, playing, journaling, and  games. This week, the fifth graders requested to do their yoga practice in a stunning spot under their favorite tree. Flowers were falling, birds were singing, the sun was shining, and it was incredibly beautiful and relaxing. The students talked all day about how much they enjoyed yoga on Wednesday. 

Next week, we will continue working on a few projects including: Create Your own Food Truck, Grandfriends’ Interview, and Garden Design. Students will also have the opportunity to present their “Endangered Species Projects” so please stay tuned for that as well.

It has been a fantastic week in fifth grade and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Reminders: 

    • Grandfriends’ Interview questions are due next Tuesday, April 20. 
    • April’s book, “The Trail” must be read by next Friday, April 23. On that day, Whit will lead the class in an in-depth discussion on the book. 
    • Each student needs one paper towel roll or two toilet paper rolls for their 3D Food Truck Models. If we could have these by the end of April, that would be great!
