This week fifth graders read Scholastic Scope's article "Are We Alone?" They then conducted some alien research and wrote persuasive essays as to whether or not they believe alien life exists out there in the universe. The students then broke into teams, wrote their own alien code languages, developed cryptogram messages, and sent them off to Earthlings in sixth grade science. We look forward to getting cryptograms back from the Earthlings later this year!

This week students had the chance to kick off persuasive writing by writing, performing, and filming healthy habit commercials. Information on a wide range of topics was shared. See some of the highlights below. (All student YouTube videos are unlisted) Today students used prepositional phrases to add detail to and expand sentences. Students then used Microsoft Teams to post their work as well as edit and review the work of others. Since we were able to get our hands on enough iPads today, all students were able to participate and post their own work.
