It has been a busy few months for fifth grade! We are wrapping up our unit on energy transfer and food chains. We got to observe live worms and track the process of decomposition. We are creating some artwork, showcasing various food chains across various ecosystems and habitats. Last week Central Electric visited to share about electricity and students were able to test out some forms of energy. Today we enjoyed the Sioux Falls Symphony Orchestra and lunch at Falls Park!
