In 5th grade social studies we've been learning about the Revolutionary War. Yesterday we were learning about the Boston Massacre where groups of colonists threw snowballs and rocks at British soldiers. We did a snowball activity where the students answered questions like "what do you do when you're upset" "How do you manage being upset" and "how did people during the revolutionary war manage being upset" and then got to throw their crumpled up paper across the room. We had a good discussion on how they managed their anger and how it affected the Revolutionary War.

In fifth grade, we have been learning about the causes of the American Revolution.  In Miss Bird’s class, we have had an economy from the beginning of school where the kids have been earning tigers for their weekly pay and doing good work.  The past couple of weeks, we have started having taxes and the students are beginning to hate this time. The taxes increase in frequency until they finally just get angry and “rebel” like the colonist did.  These taxes are unfair like wearing jeans, blonde hair, having a sister. We also had some fees like a chair fee. This is a great visual for the kids to see how the colonist felt when the British were imposing all of the unfair taxes.

As part of National School Lunch Week some of the Brookside teacher's signed up to serve lunch to our students. It looks like they are having way too much fun...

Kempton Nord took all the chairs down when he gets to school in the morning, Olivia Burris always asks what she can do to help her teacher, Lyle Gribble took down all of the chairs in the morning, Casey Cottle got to work quickly doing beautiful cursive, Matilyn DeLlamas stayed on task, Adalynn Rouse is always helpful in class and a good friend to everyone, Maliki Madsen is a good listener and always smiles, Matthew Christian is a great silent reader. He stays in his seat and reads. 

Thanks students for doing these praise worthy acts. Tigerpride#
