Mrs. Pfizenmaier's whole group reading lesson today focused on phonemic awareness with a change of vowel or consonant. It fit right in with the LETRS training that is being done across the district and was highly engaging with her students!

Mrs. Roberts had a unique way for her 5th graders to learn about important figures in United States and world history. She had them research someone and then write a fictional newspaper giving information about that person. These are now posted outside of her classroom.

When this many hands are up in Mrs. Pfizenmaier's classroom, it's clear a great conversation is going on. Students were engaged in creating a flip book on the government and it's roles.

The Garfield library now has a regulation bike! This table/stationary bike can be used as a brain break or to engage in some extra movement. It also allows students to continue working while this is happening. It's the start of regulation stations that they hope to implement across the building.

Mrs. Chesnut's 5th graders are currently working on an exploration unit in social studies, which included typing a reflection. Next up for them will be to research a "mystery explorer". The rest of the class will then ask questions and try to guess who that explorer is.
