A Short Finnish Folk Tale

We had three versions of this. Each version had different students reading different parts. Alas, only one of my recording attempts was successful:

Virtual Gravity Powered Derby Race

The 5th grade reading class really got into the spirit of this race.  They had to design a track 3 feet long and 10 inches tall to race their cars on.  During the class Webex session, each car was timed by Mr. Pantera.  These are pictures of the participants from last place to first (the difference from last to first was only 94 hundredth of a second!):

Sixth Place

                                                                     Fifth Place

Fourth Place

Third Place

  Tie for Second Place.          The First Place car.!

They were trying to get a feel for how the main character of the story "Spit Nolan" might have felt when he raced his downhill cart.

Nailed It!

Eagle Ridge 5th grade Reading students drew pictures to match Barbie fashion descriptions they read. They then compared them to the picture of Barbie modeling the outfit. These are the results.  They had fun with this.

5th Graders Made a Garden of Children

After reading a story about a student's first experience with Kindergarten and the history of Kindergarten, they chose to create student flowers with descriptions of how the teacher can help them grow.
