It’s #STEMday here in #fifthgrade We are making zip lines using the #engineeringdesignprocess @Nwesnh #makelearningfun #iteachscience

Today #fifthgrade learned how to provide and accept constructive feedback. Each student with share their writing and learn from their peers about what worked and what didn’t in their #writing @Nwesnh #peeredit

The best part of my day? Watching a student drop her pencil box and without hesitation the class jumped up to help. Her pencil box was filled and she was back to working within 30 seconds. #myclassisgreat #iteach @Nwesnh

Today we observed how the energy of particles changed within the same phase of temperature varied. We added food coloring to three different jars at different temperatures to see how quickly the color spread. What do you think we discovered? #iteachscience #Science @Nwesnh

Fifth graders are practicing their partner reading AND sticky noting a text to prepare for tomorrow’s book group discussion. #fifthgrade #iteachreading #Reading #bookgroup @Nwesnh

It’s our first #STEMday here in #fifthgrade ! Students worked in groups to find commonalities. They wrote each commonality on an index card and then worked as a team to build a tall tower. Our vocab today was: STEM frustration and perseverance @Nwesnh

#fifthgrade started their unit on ecosystems with a hook activity. Each was given an animal with their diet. Students interacted with other factors to eat or be eaten. We focused on key vocabulary and discussed prior knowledge. #engagedinlearning #scienceeducation @Nwesnh

Fifth grade is reviewing fraction word problems using concentric circle discussions. They will solve a problem with their partner, then the outside circle will rotate to work with a new partner on the next problem! @Nwesnh #mathreview #fractions @balancedteacher

Today #fifthgrade explored #colonial games that were played by children. It was lot of fun and a lot of the activities are very closely related to other games we play today! #iteachsocialstudies #grade5 @Nwesnh #socialstudies #doingislearning

Fifth grade is colonizing the new world in this engaging simulation! Students are working land, trading with each other, making the Queen of England money and upgrading their colony with the goal of developing a market square, port and fort! #socialstudies @Nwesnh #fifthgrade

Today fifth grade is working to collect data on basic structures and how they respond in an earthquake. #engineerkids #Engineering #earthquakeengineer #science #STEAM #STEMeducation @Nwesnh

Today’s math is brought to you by fraction observation, examination and exploration. We are looking for relationships between fractions using fraction strips #mathchat #iteachmath #5thgrade #fifthgrade #fractions @Nwesnh

We are mathing around the room today in #fifthgrade Students are working hard to multiply decimals! #ITeachMath #decimals #multiply #mathclass @Nwesnh

#fifthgrade is hard at work on some #unplugged #code We are working to create an algorithm that will create the images in each grid! @Nwesnh @codeorg

5B is exploring gravity through a universe simulation. They are working to build a universe by applying their knowledge of mass and gravity. #createauniverse #gravity #Science @Nwesnh #fifthgrade

Today fifth graders investigated the Sun’s brightness on the various #Planets wishing our #solarsystem Students then worked in teams to determine which planet would be the best to explore based on their data @Nwesnh @MysterySci #collectingdata #ITeachScience #space #solarpower

It’s STEAM day here in #grade5 We are testing hull shapes to find out which shapes are the most buoyant. We will the apply our research from the past few weeks to design and build the best boat. #scienceeducation #STEM #STEAMday @Nwesnh

#fifthgrade is learning about the technology used by early explorers! #astrolabes were used to measure the angles from their ship to the North Star in order to navigate accurately. #socialstudies #iteachsocialstudies #grade5 @Nwesnh

Today is the day for some #glowandgrow feedback! This is a time for students to share their writing and receive some feedback for revisions. #iteachwriting #writers #WritingCommunity #fifthgrade #grade5 @Nwesnh
