We had Assembly to begin the day and the Grade 5 class had a nice presentation on Fortitude with a nice lesson to learn. They showed how birds never give up even if things don't go their way, and that we should do the same.
After Assembly we had a quiz on Yonder Mountain and then read some of Chapter nine in Frindle. Nick's principal came to his house to have a little chat with his parents.
In Math the students used different ways to divide by 10, and also practiced more problem solving.
Describing how the pony express improved communication long ago was our objective in Social Studies.
Finally, in Science we reviewed last week's class and began a new unit on People and Resources by identifying different natural resources. Students worked in groups to brainstorm the ways they use resources every day.
