Mrs. Wilcox’s 5th Grade

Happy Lunar New Year. 4th-5th Ss are creating dragons in media/technology this week. We are loving their creativity.

@jensmythe4 Love it! One of my kids was at the tour today and mentioned that she was a tour guide.

@nckhui Ughhh🤦🏻‍♀️ The current salaries and lack of funding/support for public school educators are not helping to recruit and retain educators. Why can’t they understand this!

Saying North Carolina is in a ‘crisis,’ leaders defend plan to pay teachers based on performance. NC Supt. Catherine Truitt & State Board of Ed chair Eric Davis say current licensure model is not helping to recruit & retain enough teachers. #nced #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/edu…

It’s kickball day!! Better luck next year, 5th graders! 😜

Reflecting on our 5th grade year with hand portraits. They came out great!

It’s a wonderful day for Spanish Dancing!! 💃🏽

The research is done, activities are planned, and presentations have been rehearsed. It’s finally time to share our learning! @schristined @JYJoynerP

Spring Break is great for the soul! Hope our @JYJoyner family is all taking time to relax and recharge! ☀️

One of my favorite JYJ traditions — Science Go-Round! 🐍🚀💉💦

It’s back!!! Everybody from kinders to 5th graders love Spanish dancing! 💃

4/21 5th grade will share their solutions to the @UNGlobalGoals in classrooms of their peers! #2022Exhibition #IBPYP

Exhibition 2022, the groups have been chosen, the focus has been narrowed! Let’s work! #April21 #globalgoals #exhibition5thgrade @ibpyp @Global_WCPSS @GlobalGoalsUN

5th grade is buzzing with discussions about the global goals. Next, it’s time to collaborate and take action! #Exhibition2022 #ibpyp

It’s a beautiful day for the @JYJoyner 5K! Thrilled to have this tradition back!

We loved collaborating with @JYJoyner_Tech to gather Pi Day data. Can’t wait to hear what they discover about diameter and circumference.

We became civil engineers by designing and building candy bridges. Thank you @maniacsinthemid for this fun STEM activity!

My favorite project of the year! We are learning about the problems in the Chesapeake Bay and using our skills as IB learners to propose solutions. #sharingtheplanet

JYJ has been awarded funds by the United Arts Council’s Artists in Schools program.  This grant & matching funds from the PTA make possible 4 cultural arts events this year.  The first event - a week-long writing workshop w/ poet Michael Beadle for our 5th graders - starts today.
