We read to learn, we read for answers.

We read to have fun.

Setting a goal of 1,000 points?

Yes & our class is almost there.

#WOW

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."

Seek first to understand,

and then be understood.
