Exeter-Milligan fifth grade is a fun and
unique place to be. Their teacher, Brooke Soukup, notes that “all of them
are very creative.”
Their class is focusing on Core 5 this
year. Soukup explained, “Core 5 is an app that allows students to work at
their own pace and at their specific skill level to develop critical reading
and language skills. Our goal as a class is to have every person complete
the program by the end of the year.”
In reading, the class just finished The
Prince and the Pauper and is starting The Odyssey.
In science, they have been learning
about genetics and family traits. The photos here are of the students
surveying the different traits they might have including curly hair, attached
earlobes, freckles, dimples and hairlines. They also brought photos of
their parents to see if they share physical traits with them.
Technology is used every day in the
fifth grade classroom. “It is used for little things, like displaying
their morning routine every morning and our teacher student games throughout
the day. It is also used during lessons, independent work time, and for
science and social studies tests.”
Each week the students take turns
calling special seniors in their communities to check in on them. These
Telecare phone calls are one of the highlights of the students’ week.
They recently had a special breakfast with the seniors they call each week.
