A Note from Ms. Bueche
Here's What's Happening
Literacy
This week in literacy we are learning about character traits. We were asked "How is my character as a person?" Character traits are the character's personality. We are also learning about the Greek/Latin root manu. Speaking of manu-words Lizzy's manicure was ruined by the paper-mache` glue in art. We also are learning about multisyllabic words. To help us learn we had to break up our spelling words into syllables. We had words with 3,4,5, and 6 syllables.
Ms. Kee's Math Class
Cantigny By: Sam and Val
When we got there we climbed on a wide variety of tanks. Some were big and others were huge. There were tanks from three different wars. One was even decorated like a tiger!
After our fun on the tanks we went off to the museum. The museum started on WWI, and went all the way through the Vietnam War. We saw things about all three wars. We saw the trenches of WWI, a video of WWII, and went through a jungle from the Vietnam war.
After that we walked through a beautiful garden on our way to the mansion. We started in a room with a ceiling made of gold. The room had once held hundreds of movie stars. The owner, Robert, owned the Chicago tribune. A very famous newspaper. His mansion contained 43 rooms and a very long main hall. We toured 9 rooms and had a lot of fun.
After the fantastic tour we ate lunch and took off on our way back to school. The whole class wants to go again. Have a good Friday off!

Recess By: Katya and Riley
Recently, at recess students played a new game based on the popular book series The Hunger Games. It didn't turn out as well as we thought it would. Violations of the rules were attempted, many people say they were hit by "flying woodchips". We have agreed to never play The Hunger Games again.
Kickball
A while ago, an incident at kickball took place. One player refused to join the team, so the recess supervisor had to tell him that it was necessary to become part of the team. The teams got into a huge argument and the teams had to be reset. Looks like recess has been very wild for 5th grade.
