5th Grade Reading--What Do You Know?

Some of Mr. G's 5th grade readers have been working extra hard, reading and creating! Each student self-selected a person whose life had a large impact on the world. All the displays and artwork are currently on display in the Lincoln library.

Ava Ross chose women's rights activist Elizabeth Cady Stanton. Ava gave a presentation based on what she learned, created a display and a work of art as well seen in these photos.



Carolyn Moody chose as her historical character, Susan B. Anthony. Anthony was also a women's rights activist. Carolyn also made an oral presentation, a display and a piece of art.

Rubin Kang chose President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the man who led the United States thought the worst part of The Great Depression and World War II.

Please stop by the library to see their displays.

Portfolios Going Together

Mr. G's 5th graders are preparing their portfolios for the Fall Student-Led Conferences on November 22nd and 23rd. They are putting samples of their work from each subject area into the new black binders used for portfolios. Each student will be asked to be prepared to report to their parents how they did in each subject, explain what they did well and prepare a plan to explain how they will improve in areas needing improvement. Each student also establishes a set of academic and personal goals which will be revisited as the year goes along.
