We came up with movements to help us remember the attributes of the quadrilaterals we have learned. #gr8gators #mathinLISD @LWFerguson @kendallveazey

Completed an instant challenge for engineering today. Groups had to use only a few materials to build a cantilever that could hold a ping pong ball away from the one foot square base.

Look at is matching on bright color day! Great minds think alike! @Donald_ES

Thank you to my amazing parent volunteer who came to speak to all three of my classes on how his engineering job incorporates soil and rock into projects we enjoy and experience everyday!

Happy Valentine’s Day! 💕 @Donald_ES

5th grade had a blast at Pinstack! From force and motion challenge cards at bowling to arcade games and attractions. It is awesome to be in 5th grade today! @Donald_ES

One creative student made our class cow some winter clothes over the ice storm! 💕💕 🥶

Making U-shaped valley models with play dough and glaciers! @Donald_ES

Today was a great day. We got to tour the middle school our 5th graders will go to next year, hear from electives, and counselors. Such a great preview for our students. Thank you for being a great host @ForestwoodMS ! @Donald_ES

The simple joys of 5th grade recess. They asked me to take a photo of their campfire. So I present… the art, and the artists. @Donald_ES

Force and motion review day 1! @Donald_ES

We did it! All groups broke out and got their holiday presents and some cocoa. Happy holidays! 🎄🎁

Oh no! The presents have been locked in the trunks! Can they solve the puzzles and get them out in time for the holiday break? @Donald_ES

A “silent night” before break?!? Unheard of! These 5th graders are busy writing a story around a campfire and adding ideas to each other’s stories. @Donald_ES

Candy cane words part 3! @Donald_ES
