PE had fun playing Sink the Ship - Four ships adventure into the gym with their flotation devices or plastic bowling pins. Cannons are all over the place, or students are on rolling boards equipped with canons or balls. Now they try to Sink the Ship! Students used hand-eye coordination and skill to Sink the Ship or Stay Afloat!

Miss Bart's 5th grade math class had a "Safari Restaurant," giving the student a real-life situation to practice adding decimals. Students were given menus with prices. They had to plan out their meal by adding all items, including tax and a tip. They then determine how much change they were to receive. The lesson ended with actual snacks.

Our neighboring church, First Claremore, is always willing to support our school community. Their generosity to our teachers, students, and families has afforded our school a replacement laminator.
Thank you to the church and to those who attend who have invested in Claremont. You can be sure that teachers all over the building rejoiced - a working laminator is a BIG deal!

🎃 1st grade asked the question, will Pumpkin Jack sink or float?
They discussed the hypothesis and created an experiment to prove it to be true or false. The outcome was - it floats! Some students asked if they brought the pumpkin outside would the result be the same? They took the pumpkin outside; the hypothesis turned out to be the same and led to some great thoughts about the air inside the pumpkin.

5th grade students can "Show YOU the Money!"
Students in Ms. Anderson and Ms. Bailey's classes at Claremont spent time working with real money in small groups learning how to make change. This experience afforded students real-life, hands-on exposure to how what they are learning now can be used in the near future, and some of them got to use what they learned at the Book Fair!

KNOT MY PROBLEM
For their first activity in the Innovation Lab, 5th graders worked on spatial awareness within the lab, effective communication, collaboration, and problem solving as a team while playing the “Knot My Problem” tangled rope challenge.
Teams had to untangle a rope while sticking to particular guidelines. Everyone in the group had to have both hands touching the rope at all times while trying to untangle the rope.
If someone accidentally removed a hand, the team would have to start over. Students were encouraged to develop a strategy before starting, use positive dialogue to communicate ideas and try different approaches until they figured out how to untangle their rope.
At the end of the activity, we discussed the importance of collaboration and communication within teams.
