ART by Miss Warrens 6th Graders

We were inspired by the paintings of Robert McCauley. Some of his art is currently displayed at the MoNA Art Museum. Several of the students at Lincoln have been to the "Wildlife" exibition there already. His paintings include many animals of different types together. Our class will be going in March. Miss Warren went and met the artist himself. Robert McCauley was born and raised in Mt.Vernon WA and recieved his masters in Fine Arts from WSU in 1972.

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.

The Children of the Dust Project

Mr. G's class is piloting a Social Studies unit called The Children of the Dust. It covers the period in American history when people from the midwestern states affected by the the Dust Bowl were migrating west to find work. It also happens to coincide with The Great Depression, the election of Franklin Roosevelt as president, and much more.

Our class has been studying this period in history and is now at a point where they will begin putting projects together tat will display their knowledge. Some will do this in a traditional cardboard display board and others will create their presentations using Powerpoint.

We are finishing the one page essays today and tomorrow--October 28-29th.

Next week the timelines will be due.

The final products will be presented to the class later in November. Look for photos of their work on this blog.

In reading we have whole class time in the beginning of each day. Throughout the week during this time we talk about the theme and big question, learn and practice using the 8 vocabulary words for the week, listen to a read aloud selection, listen to an introdution selection, learn the reading skill of the week and practice the organizer that goes with it, listen to/read the main selection and answer questions about the main selection and we get started on our vocabulary word squares. Each day after whole group time the students get to choose a literacy station to go to, sometimes they visit 2 a day and students are also working in a small group with me.
