Poem in Your Pocket & Assembling the Food Truck

This slideshow requires JavaScript.

This week, fifth graders have continued enhancing their Food Truck Projects. As they began to assemble the 3D version, they also started to visualize a layout for the inside. After viewing videos of successful food trucks and how they operate, students began to create the layout of their own. As a class, we brainstormed appliances and features that a food truck might require, and then students were encouraged to add ideas of their own. After that, students were given graph paper and used perimeter and scale to create a “bird’s eye” visual of their individual truck.

On Thursday, April 29, The Summit will celebrate National Poetry Month by participating in Poem in Your Pocket Day! This week, students have been working on creating original Haiku poems. Tomorrow throughout the day, fifth graders will have the opportunity to present their unique poems to classmates and teachers. It’s going to be a great day celebrating the art of poetry!
