Dater 5th graders are true leaders. Their bravery shines each day as they present the morning announcements, taking on a responsibility many adults would find intimidating. With clear voices and excellent public-speaking skills, they set a positive tone for the day!

5th graders are generating lists of topics they know a bit about in order to refine their research topic. Talking with a partner provides the opportunity for feedback and new ideas! Jotting in a notebook allows for reflection, organization, and analyzing.
