Fifth grade - math and science

In addition to the task for the grant, I will be introducing a problem-based task on "killer plants" in the Spring.

I have done dioramas, posters, passports, and portfolios. These activities insure that the students will know all three levels of the ocean and overall understanding of sea life so they can complete the grant requirements.

Here is a direct quote from the kids: "We are the luckiest class in the whole world". They love the technology and just interacting with Sparta's students.
