5th Grade P.E. update

5th grade had a great month in P.E. We did 2 weeks of bowling, where students used google sheets to track their scores throughout their 4 days of P.E. The last week before the holiday break, we are preparing for Winter Wonderland, and doing a variety of different holiday relay and games. When we get back from break, we will go into floor hockey, gymnastics, and dance. Please make sure even with the weather, students are coming to school with shoes for P.E.! Boots and crocs are not acceptable footwear

What is a Problem and Solution? In Kindergarten, students learned about problems and solutions!  We learned different terms that represent the word “problem”.  Some examples include “worry, “difficult” and “mess”.  For the word “solution” we found other terms like “fix”, “solve” and “clear up”.   We discussed problems that could happen - a cat up in a tree or a bike broken and how we can find a solution for those problems.  We concluded the lesson with a book that had a problem and how the character solved that problem!  Sometimes we came up with a different solution! Some of the books we read were: The Stray Dog  by Marc Simont Jabari Jumps by Gaia Cornwall After the Fall: How Humpty Dumpty got Back Up Again by Dan Santat
