Welcome May!

 
 
Happy birthday Lautaro!
 
 
During the month of May we did lots of descriptions. Here are some pictures and links to check out.
 
 
 
 
 
Let's practice now! Just click and follow the links.
         
 
 We also began with our Phonics lessons!     
 

 
 
In LITERATURE we began reading:
 
It's a story about a group of fifth-graders who, divided into boys vs. girls, hold a 3-day "no talking" contest. They limit themselves to 3-word phrases or sentences, only to be used with teachers; communication with everyone else must be done by writing, gestures, mime, facial expressions, or sign language. Team captains keep points of everyone who speaks a word over the 3-word limit, and the team with the least number of points wins.
 
Have you ever wondered if you could do this contest for only 3 minutes?
 
Three minutes without:
  • talking
  • standing up
  • moving around
  • shouting
  • whispering
Three minutes
  • paying attention to your teacher
  • raising your hand to speak
  • listening to your peers when they talk
 
In your opinion, what would be the most challenging rule to follow?
 
 
 The Greg's pupil of the week was given to
LUCAS, LAUTARO & CLAUDIA 
Congratulations!
 

See you next month! Keep up your good work 5th!
