Circus News

Hello parents of the 5MC classroom!  I'm sure your kids have come home very excited and telling you about the circus!  Gary the Clown dedicates his time for two weeks a year helping kids learn circus skills.  As a fifth grader, your child is able to be in this year's circus if they have good behavior, do their homework, and read 30 minutes each night.  This year's circus will take place in the gym on Friday, April 25th at 9:15.  - by Rory L.

You may walk by the gym and you might hear screams of joy.  That's because we are enjoying revealing our talents.  We all love doing the trapeze, spinning plates, or doing stilts (except for Aidan).  Everybody enjoys spending time with Gary and having free time.  We all enjoy learning new stuff to then perfect.  Everybody loves Gary and they all respect him.  So overall, we all think he is awesome!

Writing/Boston

Our little writers have been extremely busy working on their informational books on the American Revolution!  When they are done, most will have completed five different "chapters" in their books on their particular topic.  Each student became the resident expert on a subject and their goal is to teach the rest of us all about it.  I've been very impressed with their ability to sustain their energy throughout the tasks of reading and researching, note-taking, and then writing a chapter at a time.  This is the first major research that they've done on a historical topic.  We will be preparing to share them in some fashion, around the time of our trip to Boston on May 29th!  Stay tuned for more information about that field trip.
