So much is happening in Ms Tibbetts' 5th grade!
* We are building a lost civilization in the woods to learn all about how governments are formed and how people work with resources to build communities.
* We are learning about volume and applying what we already know about area models to multiply multi-digit numbers.
* We are experimenting with plants to see what makes them grow and using our observation notebooks to record accurate drawings.
* We’ve been using the comfy chairs to enjoy books in the reading lounge.
