Five Kingdoms of Living Things

Thank you for allowing us to use this great video in helping us study the five Kingdoms of Life!

We had such a great visit from our two new friends from Thailand last week. Blue and Nat were here in Burlington for two days and spent both days with room 231. They followed students from class-to-class learning what it was like to be in school in the United States.  Blue said it was much more relaxing in American schools than back in Thailand schools, they were allowed to play more here, and more talking in the classrooms by students. Nat can speak four languages and write fluently in two. Blue is from the Central Thailand, Bangkok and Nat is from North Thailand,  Chiang Mai the country. Both have an one hour trip to and from school each day.

Student Created Study Guide

Love these study guides that the students crafted out of various material then took a picture using their iPad. They then uploaded them into Explain Everything to label the functions of the organelles.

Beginnings

We are off to a great start to fifth grade. After getting to know our classmates, some new, some old, we settled into our very busy routine. Here are some snap shots from our adventures so far.
