Buniewicz Classroom News - 11/30
Mr. Buniewicz's 5th and 6th Grade Newsletter
Just as an FYI, I am out today, Friday 11/30.
Amal Unbound Wrap Up
Throughout this book, we
- skyped with classrooms in Kentucky, Ontario, and Texas
- collaborated online via Flipgrid
- ate a tasty pomegranate and a Pakistani dessert called laddu
- broke out of an escape room with various Pakistani themed clues
- researched about life in Pakistan
- Skyped three people who work on developmental projects in Pakistan
- watched He Named Me Malala
This was a tremendous experience for the kids that I am very proud of. Please take a look in the Friday Folder for a reflection the kids did about Malala. They had so much deep, mature thinking about the morals and themes of the movie and the book. I truly think reading this book gave us an immersive look at a different culture than ours. I hope students came out of this more empathetic and understanding of people around the world. And maybe even realized how lucky they are to have the opportunities they do!

Last Week Recap
We had a normal week of ELA. This week focused on poetry. We read and wrote many poems through our Wonders series, even had poetry slam. See the pictures below!
We worked on analyzing the decisions poets made. The students put a great amount of focus and detail into every hyphen, rhyme, stanza, and word of the poem. I am very proud of the work they put in! In Social Studies, we have been working on writing a letter to Mayor Doud about a local topic.
