Hi everyone! During the last few weeks we have done many fun things! Last week our whole class did a teamwork game called BreakoutEDU! BreakoutEDU is a game where you have clues that lead you to a code to a lock that you have to unlock. There are multiple locks that you need to unlock the box!

We also did a BreakoutEDU in math class! It was also tons of fun!

On Thursday we met up with our 1st grade buddies to celebrate Poem in Your Pocket Day! We all wrote super cool poems and made pockets!

On Wednesday we had Mix It Up Day! We had tons of fun and we met lots of new friends!

For our 5th Grade Musical, we are doing The Lion King! It is all starting to come together! We are almost ready!

In reading we are learning about poetry! It is super fun!

We just finished up learning about Westward Expansion in our wagon trains! Our simulation was a blast! It was amazing! This week we are beginning our short research project on Ecosystems. 

In WEX we are writing short fiction stories! They are a lot of fun to write!

Happy New year everybody! This week back in Mrs. Anderle's class was quite an experience. Mrs Anderle's math class started algebra, and we started our energy science unit. We did various experiments to look at different types of energy. We even mapped the energy transfers in lots of toys. In reading, we started the novel "The Liberation of Gabriel King." We also learned about fiction texts. We're finishing up Personalized Learning next week!

This week in social studies, we researched our American Revolution topics. We met with tavern groups and reflected on our notes and questions. Some students even began working on their final projects.

During reading this week, we did some poetry with our partners, we worked on the main idea with nonfiction books, and started our daily signposts log.

During writing this week we started typing our personal narrative essays with a story we had previously written earlier in the year. Then after we finished our first moment, we added a second moment to go along with it.

This week we earned our ribbon reward! It was a movie at lunch. The movie was The Muppets.

We also ended our Roald Dahl groups. Here are some of the final projects we created:

Dream Bottles, Book Trailers, Skits, Golden Tickets.

Our final science project was creating a cell creature. We shared our creatures today!

Both math classes had a test. In reading, we started book talks and read a bunch from Among The Hidden. We had a great week!

Here's to another great week in Mrs. Anderle's Class! This week included many exciting experiences, including science and math experiments, fun reading activities, and so much more! Let's dive in!

In science class, we collected information about our heart rate per minute. We then made awesome graphs to display our results!

Today we were assigned our first reading log! Can't wait to get reading!

Among the Hidden is not your average read aloud. This exciting book is keeping our class on their feet! Learning about these characters and looking for signposts is so much fun!

As the day was coming to a close, we ended off on a great note: a science experiment! Today we learned about the digestive system, and how our bodies need food as nutrients!

We had a fun time in Roald Dahl, and here's a picture of one of our presentations from the BFG group.

We also had a music for youth concert, when Gianna and Sophie, in our grade performed.

We learned how our muscles get tired when we put pressure on them. We used a clothes pin and we squeezed it for 30 seconds and only got 15 second breaks. We had to do that 10 times. We graphed our data, too.

Today we did an experiment in science class to explore a common reflex in the eyes (blinking).

Band started this week, and we have a lot of people in band. We are having a lot of fun learning our new instruments..

We continued Wex this week and have been working on focusing our writing on one moment.

We had an awesome week!

The limb project was a fun and creative idea for us all! It was cool to experiment with the different materials.😋
