Welcome to Our Classroom Blog

Welcome to our 5th grade class blog where we have small but determined spirits. In our class blog you can participate in polls and see our work. We are here to show you that D.C. Public Schools are better than your expectations. Please enjoy the rest of our blog.

Our Classroom

In our class we do a lot of fun and educational activities. We learn about many different genres in writing - whether we're reading poems by William Stafford, sonnets by William Shakespeare, or Greek myths. Parent volunteers make our class more enjoyable, too. Just yesterday, we finished watching an ABC show Nightline called "Profit and Loss" with the producer (a parent). Our special classes are also interesting. In Social Studies we are continuing to learn all the 48 contiguous states. And in Science, we are doing an experiment using levers and pulleys - as well as starting on our science fair projects. Math is also an important part of our day. We're learning many new ways to multiply and divide. As you can see we learn many wonderful subjects during our school days.

Our Beliefs

In our class we believe that every one counts as something important to our classroom. We also believe that we can make a change in what people think of D.C. Public Schools. We believe that learning can be more than simple school work, it can be fun and it can help you achieve things in life, and it can help you when life is a struggle. We believe that one person can make a difference for the world and we are that person. As one we come together and make a difference.

Conclusion

We, students at a D.C. Public School, hope you enjoy this blog. We hope you enjoy reading what we had to say. In conclusion we hope this blog will give you a good sense of D.C. Public Schools, a different view of us than is often seen in the newspapers or magazines. Please understand that we have put a lot of time and effort into this blog, and hope you come again!
