Author, Jody Feldman, Visits

Author of The Gollywhopper Games, Jody Feldman, visited Glenridge today to share her journey to becoming a writer. She shared a few tips for how to use the world around us to help collect story ideas. She shared her process for developing characters that anyone can use when imagining characters for their own story. We got to see a picture and hear stories about the amount of times she wrote and rewrote The Gollywhopper Games before it was officially published. We loved learning from this author and can't wait to try some new techniques in our own writing!

Understanding Concentration

The scientists of 5S created solutions with various amounts of solute and solvent to compare mass and explore the ideas of a concentrated solution and a diluted solution. They used kolaid solutions and a taste test to compare concentrations of solutions and they mixed salt solutions to compare how mass is different based on the concentration of solutions.

Mary Poppins Musical at Wydown

So much anticipation! The 5th grade was so excited to see the first performance of Mary Poppins! 

 

Solute, Solvent, and Solution

During science today, our investigation focused on answering the question: "how does dissolved solute affect mass and volume of a solvent?"
