We warmed up for math with “musical chairs.” Each student was given a different number at their seat. I played music and when it stopped, students had to find a seat and fill in one of the boxes (write the number in word form, multiply by 10, etc). They loved it! #BeEvergreen

We love practicing our math facts with a little friendly competition! I read a 9s fact to the kids and whoever “splat” the product of the equation first earned a point for their team. Both teams did awesome! 😊✖️🪰 #BeEvergreen

Special shoutout to Kassie Larsen for this one! For today’s math warm up, we played a round of Math Musical Chairs to get our brains going before the lesson. Thank you Ms. Larsen for sharing such an engaging activity! We absolutely loved it! 🤩 #BeEvergreen

We love student to student discourse! 🤓 Students are working on multiplying fractions & showing it pictorially using an area model. Students built on what they learned in their previous lesson to teach/review with the class & show what they know in Padlet! #BeEvergreen Padlet

5th grade loves vocabulary ‼️ One of our words this week is honorable. Students represented the word with clay. Students made firefighters putting out a fire, army badges, tiaras, etc. and explained why what they made is honorable! They loved it! 💖🏅👑🔥#BeEvergreen

Career week in 5th grade is such a special week! Students are able to see themselves in the future and beyond. So thankful for the volunteers who make it happen. 🐶👨‍✈️❤️ #BeEvergreen

ABC Countdown in 5th grade at NW! What better way to spend G and I than an ice cream party and bringing in your own games! #BeEvergreen

We’re going to miss our 5th graders at Northwest as they embark on their next journey as middle schoolers at CMS. It’ll be sad to see this special group of kids go. #BeEvergreen

5th grade is the best! 💛💚 #BeEvergreen

Today’s community builder consisted of toothpaste, toothpicks, and critical convos! Words can be compared to toothpaste, once something negative is said it can’t be taken back, similarly to how toothpaste can’t be put back into its original tube. Words are POWERFUL! #BeEvergreen

These amazing 5th graders at NW are ready for Central! So excited to see where their future takes them. Beyond proud of them all! 💚💛 #BeEvergreen

Today our 5th graders hosted an entrepreneur day. Students created a business plan and were able to “sell” their item with their Dojo Dollars! So much creativity and so proud of them! 💖 #BeEvergreen

To finish our module, students created a volume zoo where they had to calculate the volume and area of their animal! So proud of their hard work. 🐻🐼🐨🐷🐮 #BeEvergreen

5th Grade is the Best! We had an amazing first day of school! Looking forward to a great school year! ✏️📕📓❤️ #BeEvergreen

Great morning at our North Schools! 🏫 #BeEvergreen 💚

This week we set up our ELA notebooks and took part in an impromptu challenge called the “One Scrap Challenge.” The goal? To cut everything you need while ending up with only one scrap left over! It’s the little things sometimes 😂❤️ #BeEvergreen

Using the “Think As You Read” Strategy is so important! This group did a great job of listening to the personal narrative “The First Real San Giving Day” and discussing parts of the text that stood out to them by using this strategy. Awesome convos today! 🤓 #BeEvergreen

Happy Custodial Worker Day to the best in the game! We love you Ms. Sharon and Mrs. Carol, we are so lucky to have you here at Northwest! 💛💚 #BeEvergreen

Thank you Mini Monsters for giving NW students the best experience! Seeing the smiles on the kids’ face was truly priceless. 🧡💙💛💚🏈 #BeEvergreen

Halloween fun!!! 🎃 #BeEvergreen
