Throwback!

Yes, recently our 5th graders
were "stepping back" in time!
Can you guess the era?
Did they "Google" the
decade in order to create 
personal style?
How about the "Awesome 80s?"
Yes indeed.....thanks for a fun day.

Who-Done-It?


WELCOME!
Ready for this mystery?
Mrs. Ricker explains the details.  
Let the problem solving
begin.....and it's 
all hands-on-deck!"
Survey the scene of the crime.
Gather all the clues.  Hmmm, not
 as easy as we first thought it would be!
Gather your evidence with care.
Analyze each bit of information, a "must."
Compare your results 
with others, as necessary.
Question your evidence
to see if you can reach a conclusion.
Results can often surprise
or baffle even the sharpest minds!
Did you or your partner 
figure out who committed the crime?

Thanks to everyone who
joined us at Parkside for some 
detective work, brain-power and fun!

Seek First to Understand

We can present our summary and
personal views on the story, 
different as they may be.
"Let us remember:  one book, 
one pen, one child, and one
 teacher can change the world."
                                     ~Malala Yousafzai

Seek first to understand,
and then be understood.
