We keep moving on!
St Johns classical Academy is an amazing school. In Mrs Grewe's 5th grade class we are learning so much. We are learning about Aztec culture in history and in Science we are classifying organisms. In literature we just finished The Secret Garden, it was such an amazing book.
We are learning core classics, like learning how to analyze sentences. For now we are just learning the subject of the sentence and the predicate verb and helping verbs.
I am so exited with what we're learning and cannot wait to learn more!

Another week, another Blogger
This week what we have been talking about is the Mayan's in history, classifying objects and The naming system of Linnaeus in science, and The Secret Garden in literature.
The naming system of Linnaeus was invented by Carolus Linnaeus. This naming system Linnaeus used is called Binomial Nomenclature. The word binomial means two names.
What we have been learning about in history is about the Maya. Maya is a group of peoples who have inhabited a region that includes parts of present day Mexico and Central America from thousands of years ago to the present. Before the arrival of Europeans, Maya cities and civilization thrived in rain forest locations locations between about 200 and 900 CE. Maya people were thriving and strong but ceased to stay alive. No one knows for sure. We only know that the once-great Maya cities were abandoned and swallowed up by the rain forest. The Maya people scattered but did not disappear.
Last but not least in the secret garden we are where Colin has entered the secret garden and Ben Weatherstaff found them in the secret garden. He started yelling at Mary, Dickon, and Colin. He said Colin was crippled but he is not. Now he is in with their little secret.

More from Peyton...September 9-14
Hi it's Peyton, I know again! But it is very fun doing this a second time!
The first thing we did was some History notes and Science notes, they were okay, but they were not fun and easy. We also started a new chapter in History on the Maya's. By the way Secret Garden is getting better by the day. Also in Science we started a new chapter. In Language Arts we are analyzing spelling words and learning phonograms. They are quite complicated. In Secret Garden we drew the inside of the growing garden. Well the week went very well. Hope you enjoyed, thank you.

Our first student blogger...
Hi my name is Peyton and I am going to be writing and typing the first student blog for Mrs. Grewe's class. It is an honor to be doing this.
So far we have been going over a lot of stuff this year, we have accomplished many obstacles such as are SJCA Virtues and memorizing each other's behavior etc,. This week we have been learning how to take Cornell Style notes and how to shorten our answers in multiple questions in Literature, Science, History and Language Arts. Also, we have certain teams in the classroom.
The other students and I have been working on reading the Secret Garden. It is a very interesting book but it was very boring to me in the beginning. In Literature we are reading Secret Garden. We have answered questions such as,..." Explain how Dickon was able to assure Mary that there would be roses in the Garden in the Spring." Tough sentence Eh! It's actually quite simple, by the way "Eh!" is actually Yorkshire toned.
In History we are learning about the World Lakes. To me I think the Lakes are interesting.
In LA we are learning are writing and reading the Silent Final E. Rules and we are also learning our Phonograms and spelling.
Also in Science we are learning about the Scientific Method, the other day we did a project on it, the project was to see how long you gum lasted. It was a very fun experiment! My gum lasted about 45 minutes, other people gum lasted around 20 to 30 minutes, the six methods are 1. State the Question 2. Collect Info. 3. Form Hypothesis 4. Test the Hypothesis 5. Record and Study Data 6. Draw Conclusion. The other thing we did in Science was learning What is Life?. We just started learning about the Characteristics of Life.
The resources that we have are P.E., Art, Spanish and Music. The teacher that teaches PE. is Mrs. Patterson. She is awesome! The Music teachers are Mr. Clarke and Miss Smith. They are the power by the hour! The Art teacher is Mrs. Rice. She is an amazing artist and art teacher. Finally the Spanish teacher Mrs.V. She is "Grande" with Spanish words!
The best part of the week was getting cookies, they were delicious! P.S. That was today, It was awesome to write this. THANK YOU!!!!
**Teachers Note: The cookies were brought in by a classmate for her birthday this weekend ;)

Week 1....and GO!!!
Week one is in the books!
We had a great first week of fifth grade! We spent some time getting to know each other and making new friends. We completed classmate interviews and played several getting to know you games. Mrs. Grewe enjoyed reading the "All About Me" worksheets that we completed. We also had the chance to get to know students in the other fifth grade classes during recess. We did some fifth grade team building activities, we organized ourselves, without talking, by height. Then we broke into three groups, and had to pass a hula hoop down our chain, everyone did a great job!
In Math, We have been working on Place Value. This is a core math topic that students need to have a firm grasp of as we move through the year. We applied place value to our addition skills as well. We completed our math placement test, the teachers are reviewing our scores, and scholars will be placed in their math group by the start of next week. A parent letter went home today (8/22) explaining the math placement, please be sure to ask your scholar for the letter.
In Geography we have been review latitude and longitude. We played a mapping game using our skills to find different places around the world (winners got candy!!).
We have not done much in Science yet, but we did watch a fun Flocabulary video to introduce the scientific method. We will be working more with the scientific method over the next few days.
We dove head first into our first novel study, The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. Everyone seems very interested to see where the tale will take Mary Lennox. We will continue our study over the next several weeks. This book will not be coming home with scholars, we are waiting for the rest to arrive, so all of fifth grade is sharing. We are covering the story in great depth in class!
We have been reviewing our phonograms and doing a brief review of our handwriting skills. We will continue with these skills over the coming weeks. Handwriting is extremely important, please be practicing handwriting (print and cursive) skills at home! We also did a quick review of types of sentences to get us started on our grammar journey this year.
Well that's just a quick peek into our first few days of school. Check back next week to see what our first Star Scholar Blogger has to say!
