Our Reading Paradise

Have a look at our new "Reading Paradise" in 5M! A cozy corner to dive into a good book....just in time for Read-a-thon!

Hooray for Reading!!! Day One of Readathon!

Today was the first day of this year's Read-a-thon! We did a quick photo shoot in honor of the big day. 5M loves reading!

Star Site of the Week!

This week's Star Site is National Geographic for Kids. This website gives readers a chance to view videos, play games and learn about everything from how to make slime punch (mmm) to learning about how to conserve our oceans. There are brain teasers to challenge you, and plenty of interesting activities to try. This might even be a place you could use for your W5 assignment in Social Studies! For another excellent spot for research, try the National Geographic Homework Help. You can spend a lot of time on this site learning about a wide variety of topics, and have fun, too! Check it out!

Chemistry Link

I came across this site that supports our chemistry lessons this week. For an extra challenge and to learn more about the difference between physical and chemical changes, go to this site.

Star Site of the Week

I'm going to challenge myself to find one "Star Site of the Week" to post on The Chalkboard. This week's Star Site is easy! I've already shown it to the class, but go ahead and give it a try at home. BrainPop is loaded with excellent videos on hundreds of educational topics. Some of the movies are free to watch, while others require a subscription. However, you can watch any video when you sign up for a 5-day trial. Have a look!

Super Sports Day!

We had a Super Sports Day on Thursday! Here are a few pictures that I took from my event- the 400 meter run. Also, Mrs. Ewy (Jeanette's mother) has kindly shared her pictures with us, as well. You can have a look by clicking here.
A big thank you to Mrs. Ewy, Mr. Jang and Mrs. So for being fantastic volunteers at Sports Day! We appreciate you.
