This week in 5th grade we finished some of our units like social studies and reading. In social studies, we did our prehistory project. The prehistory project was about writing about what life was like for prehistoric humans. You could either make a poster about them, write a speech, or pretend you were a prehistoric human and write what life is like for you. This week we also finished Harriet the Spy.  We will have a final test on it next week.  But today we watched the trailer and maybe we will soon see the movie. This week in science, we did another experiment on levers. Last week we were moving the effort, but this week we moved the load. Before, we made a hypothesis and after we made our conclusion. It was a fun week doing all these projects.

This week in the fifth grade, we learned about a wide variety of subjects. On Monday we learned about making connections to the text in reading. On Tuesday we had a very interesting conversation about the Stone Age and learned about how the Ape Men before us lived. On Wednesday we took an interesting science test on variables and controlled experiments. On Thursday we happily accepted a day off. On friday Mrs. Glanz math class learned about the story of one through an educational PBS video. Shabbat Shalom
