We had so much fun picking mint from the school garden today! We used math and science skills to harvest the mint and to make the tea. The ingredients were simply: garden fresh mint, sugar, and water. I believe the net profit was about $80. Kol Hakavod to the fifth graders for taking the initiative and rocking today! They were excellent role models to the rest of the school.
In guided reading, we started the second chapter of Something Upstairs today. In math, we learned about and made bar graphs. And in social studies, we defined colony, discussed reasons for coming to the New World, and students began writing persuasive letters, which are due on Friday.
Most importantly, together with Eliana and Mrs. Woods, we began making our class rules for the year. There was a big discussion about listening- what it means, what it looks like, and why it's important.
