Exciting Things are Happening

So many exciting things are happening in our classroom this week.  We dove right into our Collaborative Enrichment Program (CEP).  It is so exciting to see fifth graders working on broadcasting skills, creating their own computer programs, and researching on their own topics to create amazing presentations.

Did you know that the average temperature in Antarctica is -56 degrees?  Did you know that sun never sets in Antarctica?  These are a few amazing facts that we learned this week when we did a live feed with explorers in Antarctica!  It was so amazing and fun.  Students got the opportunity to tweet out questions to the explorers that were in Antarctica.  We got to sit and listen as they answered different questions asked by students.

Who doesn't like a little magic?  We had so much fun with a school wide magic show.  He came to our school and taught us that if we put our mind to it, we can do anything we want to do in life.
