We had a lovely week here in the Grade 5 classroom.  11 students received a slurpee today for beating Mrs. Goosen in our first reading challenge! She read 10 books and was out-read by almost half the class.  We will see how this next reading challenge goes.  We will have our next ‘beat the teacher’ reveal at the end of February.

Students started a new Science unit this week and are learning about Force, Motion and Simple Machines.  They had to figure out the steps to a Rube Goldberg Machine…and did pretty well!  We have some photos below for you to enjoy!

We had a student get dressed up in “The Armor of God” for Bible this week – it’s also a cute photo!
