Welcome!

Hi parents and guardians,

Welcome to the blog for our 5th Grade classroom!! We really appreciate you taking the time to catch up with your students' work and taking an active interest in their learning. This blog is dedicated to chronicling our adventures in our new Science unit called Space and Our Solar System!!!
Both Ms. Opdyke and Ms. Shoup will be teaching lessons, and some days we'll even be co-teaching lessons. The unit incorporates writing, reading, research, math, and science all in one. It also strives to engage our class in learning through different mediums of technology. Topics included are: planets and their demographics, introduction to the solar system, Galileo, creating models of the solar system, and creating our own planets.
We will be updating this blog periodically with the lesson plans and activities that our students will be taking part in. Please look for these updates! If you have any questions about our unit of study, our classroom, or these lessons please feel free to email or call either Ms. Opdyke or Ms. Shoup.

Have a great day!
