Science and Social Studies iPad MIXED REVIEW

Above is a snapshot of a much longer iPad review. The students had an awesome time with this simple assignment because they were allowed to choose ANY iPad app, use their notes, the internet, and the textbook to answer the questions, and be as creative as they wanted! It was a very successful idea! I am proud!

Back to the ol' drawing board....

That's it...state testing has commenced for our 5th graders. They worked very hard and I am proud of their efforts. But, there is no time to waste. Tomorrow we review and dig deeper into Westward Expansion.

Social Studies Card Game ***FUN Test Prep***

I created very basic cards with PASS-like questions for my 5th graders to use this week as they prepare for next week's Social Studies test. I will be printing these on card stock and placing the answers on the back.

Even though they are bland, you are more than welcome to leave a comment for the Word Doc with these and more questions.

Gorgeous Day for a Field Trip

To culminate our Ecosystem Unit, our grade level went to the beautiful Brookgreen Gardens. The children were able to see a freshwater habitat by way of a pontoon boat guided by a volunteer. Many of my students had never been on a boat, so they were excited!

We managed to see populations of Cypress trees, old rice plantations, fiddler crabs, herons, and above all ALLIGATORS! Wow! There were some scary ones out their---thank goodness we were on a protective boat!

It's always fun to step out of the classroom and utilize what you have taught in a natural environment.

If you are ever near Georgetown, SC take a visit....it's worth it!
