5Y students are hard at work in all academic subjects.

In reading we are continuing to read and discuss non-fiction and fiction selections from our first unit,"Nature's Fury." In addition,students are currently reading novels which they have chosen from  the school library after a book talk presented by librarian Mrs. Lowell- Bettencourt. The theme of  all of their  books is "Responsibility." A report and project are due on October 10. Students also have been reading "Time for Kids" magazine and completing homework assignments related to the articles they read.

In science, students are studying  weather, which ties to their reading unit.They have been learning about the causes of weather, instruments that measure weather, the water cycle,and different types of storms and natural disasters, such as volcanoes. Once a week they also have been conducting experiments in the science lab, which reinforces concepts taught in the classroom.

In social studies, students have been studying the 1st Americans, including the Eastern Woodland Indians , Plains Indians, Indians of the Southwest and the Pacific Northwest Indians.

In language arts, students are writing in journals,completing weekly spelling lessons, writing stories  and composing poetry, some of which appears below!



FALL POETRY BY 5Y STUDENTS 

Haiku, Cinquain and Couplets


Fall

Colorful leaves fall down to the ground,
While geese fly through the sky making many sounds.

September, October,November,months come and go,
The temperature changes throughout the flow.

Harvesting pumpkins for us to eat,
And to use for Jack-o-lanterns to put on our street.

Collecting food,animals big and small,
In this wonderful season called fall!

By Jared Livingston


Football
Green, big
 Fast,fun,throwing
Energetic
 A bird's nest

Zombies
Look down the street,
Here come zombies stomping their feet.

Look,they're each holding a bag,
And each bag has a name tag.

They are looking pretty mean,
That's because it's Halloween!

I have a feeling the school is having some fun,
So grab a costume and run, run, run!

Candy

Even though candy's not healthy,
I grab a bucketful and I am wealthy!

From Jolly Ranchers to Gummy Bears,
To Laffy Taffy and Gummy Squares!

Even when I am done,
I go and grab another ton!

Candy, oh candy, I love you,
And that is so very true!

By Amadine Muniz


Halloween

On the street
Pirates,cowboys, princesses,
and witches meet.

Creatures of all shapes and
Sizes come to your door
Asking for more candy,
More!

People say that in the
graveyard ghosts can be seen,

What do you expect? It's
Halloween!
