4th grade shares their Ocean ABC books with the K4 and K5...

After finishing all our amazing ocean projects, we decided to share some of them with the younger students.  (K4-K5) We shared amazing facts about our ocean unit and read in small groups our Ocean ABC book!  It was fun and the little kids loved it as much as we did!

5th grade D.C.'s Monuments and Memorials Quilt

Students were responsible for drawing and researching about their chosen monument or memorial.  Then we combined them into a learning quilt.

Hopefully we will be able to go visit in 2015!1

We have learned chess since the beginning of the 3rd grade school year and recently had a chess competition between all the 3rd grade Gifted classes in the county.  I am proud to announce that Eastside and Five Points both placed in the tournament.  Great Job!!

3rd grade Parent's Day

I really enjoyed showing off my third graders and all their hard work they did this year to their parents.  We shared their invention ideas, commercials and displays.  They also viewed a couple of video clips from class.  The kids also had fun challenging their parents to some brainteasers:)  It was fun. 

 

Thank you for coming!!  We enjoyed it!
