We had a beautiful day for our Port Authority and Commercial Street field trip! The kids had a blast exploring Portland and touring the International Marine Terminal. During the tour of Commercial Street kids were assigned various roles - Job Seeker, Food Seeker, Fun Seeker, Transportation Seeker, and Photographer. I asked the students to consider why someone would choose to live, work, and play in Portland, Maine. They were challenged with thinking about what makes living in Portland unique. With this information, they are building websites that seek to explain: Why Portland?<br />
<br />
This work will provide important background information as we continue exploring the Geography of the regions of the United States. They will need consider why someone might choose to live, work, and play in a variety of places around the country.<br />

While there, the kids joined the team of scientists working to understand what is happening in the Gulf of Maine. The team asked the kids to help them figure out how five species are connected in the Gulf: cod, lobster, herring, people, and copepods. Students rotated through four interactive learning stations using the scientific method to help answer this question.<br />
<br />
At one station the kids used a fishing simulator to help understand the reasons for catch limits and different kinds of nets. They were able to see how scientists and fishermen need to work together to manage the balance of different kinds of fish in the Gulf in order to keep the food web in tact. Another task asked the kids to learn about the warm and cold water copepods by examining them under microscopes in the Gulf of Maine. They were asked to consider how the warming temperature trends in the Gulf might affect the cold water copepods. The kids were able to see how if those little critters are affected, this might disrupt other species in the web. Another highlight is the station where students got to work with a live lobster. They investigate the adaptations that lobsters have to help them survive in their habitat.<br />
<br />
As always, this trip allows the kids to explore science in a hands on, interactive, real world way. It is always a highlight of our year! Please enjoy these photos of the kids at work. Also take a minute to explore your child's webpage by following the passport that came home with your child the day of the trip.<br />

Hear ye! We have gathered here at the Town Hall to discuss recent events here in our little village. Today you will hear from Patriots, Loyalists, and undecided citizens regarding their opinions about the events unfolding in the Massachusetts Colony. You will hear from Patriots who will explain why they want to break away from Britain, Loyalists who will explain why it is foolish to break away from the most powerful empire on Earth, and some undecided citizens who will discuss how they believe there are good arguments for both sides.

I like playing cards. I am an apprentice to a merchant. I can read, write, and work with numbers. I want to sail because of English pride and trade routes so that I can sell my goods. My hopes and dreams are getting money and trade routes. I wonder about mermaids. I have studied many languages so I am very useful to my crew because they come from many different places in Europe.

"I have many fears on this trip. I fear we may come across pirates that will take our money or crew members. I am scared that I will get flogged by cat o'nine tails. I am also scared of sea monsters that have 100 arms and 1,000 eyes. I've seen many of them in my dreams.

The responsibilities of my job are to help people that are hurt. One skill I have is that I love to help people because I am a good person and like to take care of things. I am really, really scared of death, sea monsters, pirates, storms, ice, getting lost, food shortages, and drowning. There could be some disasters we could face, like arguments and fights. I will miss my family, good food, water, bathing, my bed, my friends, and last but not least my riding horse. " -- Eva Coelho</span></i><br />

<i>"Perhaps today is the best day of my entire life. I got to see the King and Queen. Really I should call them King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. I was really nervous. I was coughing and sweating really bad. I was stuttering. I went there to ask for a vessel to take on the trip. When I got there I waited like a year at least. That's what it felt like.

The page opened the door and there was a dim hallway filled with exotic smells. We slowly started long the vast and damp hallway. The castle was beautiful! Suddenly we entered a huge, bright room full of candles and people dressed in so many beautiful colors. At the end of the room sat King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella. Guess what? I fainted! I was so embarrassed. I woke up a few minutes later to find myself on the floor. I got up and carefully brushed myself off. I apologized and smiled. One of my brave crew members spoke and asked the king for a Royal Charter, but he said, "no." --Carla Coelho</span></i><br />

I keep saying to myself, "don't be nervous." I feel goose bumps on my skin, like beach grass touching my skin. I asked the King and Queen for a Royal Charter, but he said, "No!"

I hear some people whispering. I said, "I would like to go exploring like Columbus." The king said, "no."

Sometimes using candy to get kids to picture large numbers can really get their attention! In this picture we are working to explain the patterns that exist in place value. Erika has 600 skittles, which is ten times more than Alex's 60 skittles. Alex's bag contains ten times more than Vishal's bag of 6 skittles. </div>

Our first math unit tackles BIG NUMBERS. Kids are challenged to understand place value and be able to explain the patterns that exist when moving to the left and right in a number. Today we worked on reading big numbers and learning how the value of a digit can change depending on where it stands in the number. Using the kids as numbers helps them see how their values can change depending on their order in the number. </div>

</div>
Let's face it, the school day is a long day and kids get tired of sitting around. In an effort to help kids have chances to move around, I use "Energizers." Some energizers are designed to calm kids when they are a little squirrelly. Others aim to wake them up when they seem a little low energy. No matter the purpose, kids love them. They take just a few minutes to accomplish and I find the rewards are well worth the time spent.<br />
<br />
The pictures below show students taking a break from a reading lesson. They were tasked with acting out some phrases, such as "run as if a bear was chasing you" and "swim like you are in a pool full of jello."<br />

<br />
Last Friday, our class completed a teamwork challenge called "Float Your Boat." The goal of the activity was to work together effectively with a team to build a boat that floats from the materials provided. The materials were: 4 sheets of tin foil, 4 straws, 4 tongue depressors, 2 paper clips, 1 balloon, and 2 disco lengths of masking tape.<br />
<br />
This project is designed to help students define the word success. In the end, the definition students came up with was a great one. SUCCESS MEANS ACHIEVING YOUR GOALS. Many students had previously thought success had much more to do with winning. It was cool for the kids to realize that no one team was any more successful than another if each one accomplished the goal.<br />
<br />
See our SUCCESS:<br />

Our fifth graders are part of a pilot program to learn about Geography in a real-world context. Students will take a field trip to the International Marine Terminal in Portland to learn how goods make their way around the world. This trip will help students see how living in a port city impacts how we live, work, and play. Check out some recent press coverage to learn more about the program:<div>
