A tribute to a fabulous retiring teacher!

One of our amazing 5th grade teacher's is retiring this year and our class decided to create a book called "Common Sense after Retirement." Here my students are re-enacting common sense scenes.  

""Don't poke somebody continuously!"

"Don't write on anybody."

"Don't swim with sharks."

"Don't play freeze tag on the street!"

"Don't swim in flash-floods."

"Don't eat glue" 

"Don't eat too much food."

Silent Math Chimes

For math this week we created silent math chimes. We created and designed squares and circles . . . this project was used for applying our math concepts in order to produce a colorful masterpiece. The vocabulary we covered with this project included: base, parallel, right angle, rotate, degrees,concentric circles, center, chord, diameter, radius. The kids had a blast!
