This week in science, fifth grade is focusing on classifying living things! Because our focus over the next two and a half months will be on life sciences, each member of the fifth grade community is taking great care to observe and name things in the environment which are alive. Later in the fall we hope to integrate our learning with our understanding of ecosystems acquired last spring. Then, we will apply our new knowledge to the descriptions of living things near the ocean described in our read aloud book, Island of the Blue Dolphins. It's a lot of learning, but we're having a blast!
With love,
The 5th grade class
