End of the year news

The Grade 5 Historians have completed their unit on The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire. We had some great presentations! In January we begin our unit on the MIddle Ages.
Last week our Writing Workshop completed a unit on informational essays.  It was a long process and they worked very hard. I am more than pleased with their results. They became experts on their topic!
In January we will begin a unit on Fantasy books and writing. I am looking forward to reading their stories.
In Social Studies we also learned about the Jewish Children's holiday, Hanukah. We played a typical game called Sevivon ( Dreidel), Leo B made a most interesting comment about the game, asking if it was "Jewish Poker". 
We also baked some amazing Snickerdoodles the last day of school. They were pretty good!!
