“We all see the world through our own glasses” - in order to understand biases, students learned that we all carry biases because of the identities we hold! So what does that mean? Making our own glasses to show all of our identities that contribute to our biases😎

Today we took a trip to the Safari Restaurant to choose some yummy foods! A great way to practice adding and subtracting decimals🦒🐘🦓

These 5th grade scientists also made it rain inside today! Collaborating, and sharing their qualitative and quantitative observations on what happens to their landscape after it storms. #erosion #deposition Centre Ridge Rams Hannah Bowman @FCPSScience

Just a fun little clip from our Celebration today🤗 Ss enjoyed snacks while reading stories they wrote, built snowmen, played winter Pictionary, and got super competitive playing snowball toss. We ended our Celebration with a raffle to win some baby Squishmallows! We had a blast!

Almost forgot to post some awesome review we did this week for our Science Test! These kiddos had a lot of assessments this week but showed resilience to keep pushing. I love being their teacher❤️ #scienceROCKS #CRESculture

Inquiring minds want to know! How deep down do these ocean organisms live? 5th grade scientists asking questions, making connections, reading and listening to learn more AND sharing their background knowledge. #inquiry #marianatrenchdeep Centre Ridge Rams Hannah Bowman

In honor of today being #PiDay, here are a few photos from math last week! Students could use their shoe or a book to record some measurements. A fun way to get some buy in for our measurement unit!🤘🏼 #CRESculture

So much fun in Mr. Ballato and Mrs. Fehrenbach’s Art club

Headbands + writing tablets = fun Friday friendly competition and vowel teams practice for this crew! #CRESCulture #SharingOurStory

We learned so much at the AVID conference! Ready to imagine the possibilities with our teachers and students! 🤩 Fairfax Schools 🌟 Region 4 Centre Ridge Rams #AVID4Possibility #CRESCulture #CRESConnections

How many water droplets fit on a penny?🧐 Ss had a blast conducting their very first science experiment of 5th grade! Stay tuned to see how forces act on bay blades to put them into motion😎 #CRESconnections #sciencerules

Thank you Amelia Hunter for coming in to talk to students about being a Scientist! Ss shared their perspective of what a Scientist may look like and what tools they may use. 🔬🔭#CRESconnections #CRESculture

This is just one half of the fifth grade team in Math! (Fifth graders are focusing on fractions right now). #cres Centre Ridge Rams #cresconnections #fractionsinreallife Dara Fonseth

This week, 5th graders received iPads! 🤩 This technology will help all Ss be productive learners in school & at home. Ss were so excited and so are we! Region 4 Apple Education Accessibility FCPS ATS FCPS FCPS Education Technology Team AVID #CRESCulture #CRESConnections #AppleMeetAVID

5th graders are LOVING their iPads and all the different ways we can use them to explore our academics🫶🏼 This week they were a huge support in math. I wonder what new ways we will use them next week🤔 #CRESconnections #5thgradeisthebestgrade🤭

Happy Book Character Day! Best part about being a 5th grade teacher at CRES is having the best people to work with (totally not biased)🥰 #TheDayTheCrayonsQuit #PrincessPeach #CRESconnections
