Scientist at Work

The students developed a plan to rescue the gummy worm Fred.  They were to place him in the life preserver (Gummy Lifesaver) and Fred was not touch the desk.  They worked in pairs to make the rescue.  Take a look at these scientist at work!

We had an awesome time at UNC Charlotte.  Good behavior, good food and a wonderful tour of the UNC campus.  Thank you Dr. Barber,  Ms. Jeeter and parents for supporting our AVID 5th graders! 

 

Awesome Speaker!

Mrs. Brown came by to speak to our students about the obstacles she faced as a newcomer to the U.S.  She also shared holiday customs and artifacts from the Ukraine, her native country.  The students made many connections to their study of immigration in social studies. It was a wonderful treat!
