May Day Happiness!
The 5th graders stole the show with their lively Tahitian Dance.  It was exciting to see them perform with so much enthusiasm and confidence!  

Important Upcoming Dates
May 30th- All Day Rites of Passage Field Trip to Waikiki, Surfing, Stand up Paddle Boarding and more 
June 4th - Last Day of School & Splash Into Summer

*5th Grade Moving Up Ceremony -Date will be announced soon! 

New Unit-  WHO WE ARE

Central Idea: The systems of the human body are affected by an Individual's lifestyle and choices.

Lines of Inquiry-

How the systems of the human body function 
What a healthy lifestyle is
The habits and coping mechanisms of a healthy lifestyle


Students worked on demonstrating their knowledge about cells on Friday.  I was impressed with their creativity and enthusiasm.  There are 3-D models, models created using food, and more... 

They will share their cell models on Monday!  

The summative for this unit is for students to keep a health journal, reflect on their habits  and identify an area they feel is important to leading a healthy lifestyle.  They will conduct an inquiry into this  healthy lifestyle choice and then present their findings to their peers. 

Students are learning about all of the different systems of the human body.   
*You will be receiving information from Ms. Sprague and our school nurse about how students will learn about the reproductive system of the body.   


After conducting parent interviews, students created I Used to ... But Now I... Poems.    These poems are insightful and heart touching.  Check out the poetry on your child's blog and take a moment to leave a comment.


We have celebrated quite a few birthdays in the last two weeks-  I was on a PYP School Evaluation visit so I was unable to capture pictures of the birthday kids but Happy Birthday to Nicole, Ellie, Kaiea, Katelyn & Kamalu!      

Picture
Our "Baby" Bulletin Board is ADORABLE!  
Visit the classroom to see how much we've changed.
