The 5th graders just finished visiting the Mobile Planetarium. This is an excellent opportunity for our students to share what they have already learned as well see actual pictures of planets, stars and the moon. The students were able to see the next moon phase and when the next lunar eclipse will be, so ask them.
I also visited all 4th and 5th grade classes to observe how they were doing on their MOY test. Students appeared focused and I saw lots of great strategies being implemented. I am sure the results from these benchmarks will be fabulous.
