Fourth & Fifth Grades Ms. Christina Miller ~ Ms. Susan Salvatore ~ Ms. Erin Sorel The fourth and fifth grade class saw many exciting events and lessons during August and September. We had a great time participating in Spirit Week, and creating our cheer and poster around the theme “Help!” since as Upper Elementary students, we can serve as helpers to our school community.

The fourth graders have been adjusting to life in fourth grade. We continue to work with them on learning routines such as turning in homework in the morning, checking JupiterGrades daily, and transitioning from one class to another in an efficient manner. Fifth graders are thrilled to finally be Safety Patrollers and are having a wonderful time getting to know and giving high fives to all of the younger students.

In Florida History class, students learned about various types of social scientists and practiced asking the types of questions that social scientists do. We pretended to be social scientists of the future and examined several artifacts from our 2013 culture. Then students had an overview of the five regions of the United States, and reviewed basic Geography concepts such as latitude and longitude and the cardinal and intermediate directions. Soon we will begin our unit on Florida’s history beginning with an in-depth study of the Native Americans of early Florida.
