Learning Celebration on November 25th

Dear Parents,

You are invited to to celebrate our learning on November 25th at 9:00 am in the Black Box Theater. We will kickoff the celebration with a presentation and then students will share their learning and final products.

The 5th grade has been busy working a science unit that required students to research health practices/advice that are controversial even within the medical profession. For example: running is good for you or eating meat is bad for you.

Students then connected their learning about the healthy statement back to a body system.

Along with their science books, three health experts who have graciously lent their time to talk to our students about their research projects, and websites such as Webmd, the MayoClinic, KidsHealth the students discovered a lot of information about their healthy statement.  Through identifying their initial statement, generating focused questions, conducting the research, and evaluating the validity of the text presented on specific websites students developed a number of important skills.

Please mark your calendars. We look forward to seeing you.

The 5th grade team
