To learn the proper language of the discipline of rules , the students in Mrs. Orevi’s class simulated a bus ride. They arranged seats like a bus, chose a driver and a counselor, and the rest of the class were "students", The class conversed about what is permitted to do on the bus and what is forbidden. This was a fun ride. The students got creative and made great happen, as the students applied their acquired knowledge! In Mrs. Fridman׳s class, students are practicing a conversation between Tamar and her mom before Tamar goes on a trip. The 5th graders are continuing to work on their water filtration device challenge in Science. Students have begun to test and improve their designs in order to try to get the cleanest water possible.
