The fifth graders were fortunate to take part in a zoom call with Kaitlyn Willgohs. Ms. Willgohs is a recent graduate of Eckerd College, with a degree in animal studies. She has studied with a focus on animal behavior and wildlife conservation. The students were able to hear about her experiences working with wildlife both in the wild and in zoos. This was a great opportunity for the kids to conduct some first hand research into their opinion writing pieces. They were engaged throughout and made a great audience. Thanks again to Kaitlyn.
We had a solid chunk of time to work on our 13 colonies project during social studies time this afternoon. The fifth graders worked in their small groups to gather information from three different sources to further their understanding of the regions and the people who lived there. This information was compiled in graphic organizers which will help with the poster part of the project. We will continue to work on this on Friday.
