On the Wednesday before winter break it was Glenridge fifth grade info share. Through November into December kid’s have been researching and writing about the topic they choose. Kid’s choose topics anywhere from King Henry viii to Ticks. For the presentation kid’s were asked to bring in a side kick something to go along with your topic.While they were presenting at there station parents came to see their child and their classmates.
Ceci says “It was fun telling people about a topic that I worked hard to research” They did work hard to research. Mrs. Barnes sometimes gave the whole class weekend homework. Which wasn’t fair to a lot of people. Sara claims “I guess we have to do it if we want to make a good report.” Which is true kid’s only got 20 minutes of research time each day. So some kid’s researched a lot plus everyone had to write a report in two days. It was hard but, it payed off.
At 1:45 that Wednesday all the fifth graders were ready and set up their little station. Parents then, started to ask them questions and Mrs. Barnes class gave them a overview of the topic. Madeline said “ I liked how we got to teach someone else about something were an expert at.” Pretty much everyone agreed but, some people thought it was a little nerve racking. Plus, everyone was excited for holiday sing and it was almost winter break.
The next topic for fifth grade will be Debatable topics and Glenridge can’t wait to see all the ideas Mrs.Barnes class comes up with. Will this be a big report like info reports or will it not be as big of a deal?
