Making Blankets

As part of Catholic Schools Week, we made fleece blankets to donate to the Francis House. Between all three 5th grade classes, we made 50 blankets!!! Thank you so much to all those that donated fleece. Thank you to those that volunteered: Mrs. Kennedy, Mrs. Backhaus, Mrs. Byrne, Mrs. Agostino, Mrs. Grimes, Mrs. Beth Augustine, Mrs. Angie Augustine, and Mrs. Reiner. The kids did such a great job!!!!

Spelling Basketball

To review for our Spelling Test, we played basketball. They were divided into two teams. I would give a member from a team a word. If they spelled it correctly they could shoot from either the 2 point line or the 3 point line into the trash can. It was more challenging than they expected!

Monochromatic Trees

Our most recent art project, "Tree-mendous Landscapes" focused on creating a monochromatic background by creating tints and shades.

SELF-PORTRAITS

For our most recent art project, we created self-portraits!

Martin Luther King Jr., Day

When we came back from Christmas, the students were assigned different important events from Martin Luther King Jr.'s life. They were put into groups to read a play on MLK.

Snowman, but no snow

We had our first Buddy project of 2012. Even if there isn't snow on the ground, we were still thinking Winter. The 5th graders helped make cotton ball snowmen with our buddies.
