Presenting Research Projects in 5th Grade

Students in Mrs. Brasher's 5th grade Language classes confidently presented research projects that coincided with a unit on informational writing.  Students chose a topic of interest to them and conducted research to find out more about that topic.  Non-fiction books and websites were great sources of information.  Students gathered and organized information in accordance with guidelines provided by Mrs. Brasher.  The final projects were created and saved on Google Slides and students presented to their classmates.  Projects were graded on research, presentation and the content and structure of the slide show.

Box Tops final collection this school year.

Parents,

It’s almost time for our final Box Tops collection. The deadline for parents to turn in Box Tops is Wednesday, February 10th. 

Clip the Box Tops from hundreds of participating products. Trim them neatly, place in a Ziploc bag with your teacher's name on it, and turn them in to your child's teacher. Please check the expiration dates and discard any that expire before February 28, 2016. We will have contests for each grade, with the winning classes receiving a pizza party. 

We are currently ranked 1st in the state and 7th nationally!

Thanks,

Mary Beasley
