Best First Day of 5th Grade

(Top)  Today we did some observations in the garden.  We observed flowers, leaves, insects and more.

After we observed we shared our work. The top left corner shows our inside covers on the first page of our science notebooks.

We started our day with a project including toilet paper.  Vasanthi asked us how much toilet paper we thought we needed.  Next we had to write one thing on each piece of toilet paper.  Depending on the amount of squares of toilet paper, that is how many things you have to write about you or your summer.  After that we shared them at our tables and with a partner.

We had morning meeting after we made our toilet paper project and talked about growth mindsets and how we were feeling today.  Vasanthi brought back the zones of regulation while we where thinking about how we were feeling.  We also made a chart of what a growth mindset meant to us!

We've had an awesome first day and we hope this excitement continues!
