Tuesday Tasting

Today the kids continued pickling, tasted homemade infused water and made some salad dressing for Friday's BBQ.  We will do some taste testing Thursday to ensure tastiness! Their last week of school has become a culinary adventure.

El Desfile De Moda

The grade 5 did a great job today in Spanish. They picked out at least 6 outfits and described them for the class. 

A welcome visitor.

Today we got to meet baby Jack! Jen and I previewed the Spring Sing. You are all in for a great show tomorrow! 

Tuesday Tasting Food Research

Today the Grade 5 finished presenting the foods they researched during the month of May. After having myself and Jen present a food each Tuesday from September to April, it's nice to see the kids take over and present and share about a food that they're interested in. Most of the students chose fruits. Today Zafir and Zachary shared about Sea Urchin. Carly and Nika shared about Chocolate Fruit, an idea they got from their former Spanish teacher. Josh and Sam shared their findings on Passion Fruit.

Dissection Day

Today the 5th graders had the opportunity to dissect a sheep's heart. In pairs of two they were given a heart to study and analyze. The class pointed out the different parts and what functions each part is responsible for. They gained a greater appreciation and understanding of what the heart does. The smell of formaldehyde was a bit strong for a few 5th graders but the dissection process is an educational experience I'm sure they won't forget!

Getting Ready for Community Meeting

The fifth graders are gearing up for leading the TCS Community Meeting this Friday morning. They decided to share the fruit research that they have been doing. They have chosen some interesting fruits and I'm sure it will be both an entertaining and informative presentation. We hope to see all of you there!

Spring

The 5th graders have been working hard this spring on PLPs, ERBs and getting ready to host Spring Sing. I am happy to observe them working hard in math, spelling, humanities and their other weekly assignments. They continue to improve their skills and grow academically and still make time for a bit of fun. The photos are from our Skateworld Outing, Spirit Day and our trip to the JCC to see Nika in Tarzan.
