Engaging learning is the best learning! Students in Mrs. Carter's class brought the Boston Tea Party to life. Students worked together to build tea crates. These crates had to keep a bag of tea dry after they dropped it into the water. The team that designed the crate that kept the tea dry the longest won a prize. Students loved having a hands on experience while learning about an event of the past!

" Book Tasting" is just that: a sampling of books from a variety of genres to encourage students to read. The students also sampled some fall goodies as they perused books at their reading levels in Mrs. Vaden's room.

Ms. Davis's science classes went outside to identify items in the Earth's four spheres.
Then, we discussed ways in which the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and the biosphere interact.

Bledsoe’s Fluency Raceway
The Reading Drag Strip is open in Bledsoe’s classroom. The Fluency Raceway has begun races biweekly. The majority of our reading speed demons have already increased their wpm (words per minute). We have already had some racers reach speeds greater than the required reading speed by the end of 5th grade - 155 words per minute! These readers are placed into the Reading Hall of Fame.
Students practice daily through oral fluency, reading comprehension pieces, and their own silent independent reading to help them increase their reading speeds, so that they can move further down the drag strip and closer to the finish line. Bledsoe’s students were so excited today to place their racecar on the track and begin drag racing against their classmates.
Contact BMS homeroom teachers for more details and to volunteer!!!
Building Engineers. . . Or Bridges
The engineers in Mrs. Whitehead’s science class were hard at work building bridges. They used the engineering process to design, create and test their bridges. They analyzed their data to determine if the length of the bridge had anything to do with the amount of weight the bridge could hold. Our engineers had a great time and can't wait for their next project.
In Mrs. Allgood's class, The 2018-19 school year started with a bang! Well, maybe a little bridge building instead of a bang. We discussed what engineers do and how their jobs are very important to our every day lives. Students were given a scenario for building a bridge and were given materials to build this bridge. Their bridge had to span a distance of 3 feet and they could only use the materials in their project box. They were given straws, craft sticks, yarn or string, and tape. There were some sturdy looking bridges built and there were some really scary looking bridges as well. Overall, the students learned the importance of working as a team and making sure everyone in the group had a voice. This was just the beginning of our build challenges, there will be more to come as the school year progresses.

Mrs. Light's math class has been concluding our geometry study with quadrilaterals. Students worked in groups and were given a quadrilateral to to draw, define, and tell what types of angles and sides each had. The students were able to show off their creativity and knowledge by creating a poster. Once they had discovered this information, they reinforced their knowledge by playing quadrilateral spoons. This game is played similarly to the card game spoons. Students had to match two pictures of the figure, the word and the definition during the game. Now, every day they ask if we can play quadrilateral spoons!
