With all our figuring out behind us, we started our celebration of "World Read Aloud Day" by digging into a good book with so many connections to the big science ideas we figured out in our water unit!  We're sitting back, finding a comfy place and a good snack as we close our our unit reading A Long Walk to Water!

It's always Mrs. Brinza's favorite time of exploring a phenomenon when students get to answer their own questions!  We've spent MONTHS figuring out where our dirty water goes and where it comes from when we go to drink/use it!  Working in breakout rooms today, students answered the questions they asked back in September.  While there were lots of smiles and giggles, our big take away was that we've figured out a lot and have grown a TON!  Way to go 5th grade!
