Welcome Class of 2019-2020!

I am excited to see each of you and begin 5th grade next week.  It will be exciting to get to know you the first few days of class and to hear about your summertime adventures.  I hope you enjoy your weekend and are well rested for Monday morning.  We will have time to get to know one another, get to know our classroom, and to develop class rules as a group.  I look forward to seeing you next week!

Warmly,

Ms. Shaheen 

Field Day

Field Day
June 12, 2019


What a perfect day for relay races, team challenges, games, sponge toss and fun!!

Revolutionary War at Sea

The Fifth Grade Team partnered with The Society of the Cincinnati and received two trunks with replica items from the Revolutionary War at sea. Students enjoyed working in small groups to piece together the outfits and have conversations about the ranking of the person that would have worn

the outfit. 

Maple Syrup

Did you know it takes 40 gallons of maple sap to make a gallon of maple syrup?

Two weeks ago, students worked together to collect sap from each tap in the maple trees at Lincoln Street School. They brought the buckets of maple sap to the maple shed where it would later be boiled down to make delicious syrup. 

Thank you to Mr. Schmitt, Mrs. Estle, Mr. Estle, and Mr. Melick for showing us the boiling process, sharing your knowledge about this process, and for sharing a sweet sample of syrup. 

Twinning!

 Dressing up for Twin Day was a lot of fun!!

20 Minutes Per Day

Just a reminder: 

It is expected that students read for 20 minutes every night as part of their fifth grade homework.

Science Inquiry

Ask your student why we guessed what was in six different wrapped boxes to kick-off our Chemistry Unit? This exploration was a big hit and students asked if we could do it again- for fun!
