5th Grade Science with Mrs. Blankenship

My amazing students! I love Cedarwood School. 

Our 5th graders took a dive into the world of chemical reactions by creating their own 'mystery goo'! Using a fun mix of Elmer's glue, borax, and water, they explored the fascinating science of polymers and discovered how simple ingredients can come together to form something completely new and unexpected. It’s hands-on learning and joyful discovery, building a strong foundation for life at Cedarwood School.

 

CATERED LUNCH

October calendar is uploaded and ready for ordering. The deadline to order October lunch is September 15th.

SPIRIT WORD: RESPONSIBILITY

This is how your student can be responsible at home:

  1. Follow a Routine: Stick to a daily schedule for school, play, and sleep.
  2. Do Homework: Finish your homework on time without being reminded.
  3. Help with Chores: Clean your room, help with dishes, or feed pets.
  4. Keep Your Space Tidy: Organize your room and school things.
  5. Get Ready the Night Before: Pack your bag and pick out clothes before bed.
  6. Limit Screen Time: Take breaks from screens and use them for learning.
  7. Save Money: If you get an allowance, try to save some for later.
  8. Follow Family Rules: Listen to your parents and follow house rules.
  9. Take Care of Yourself: Brush your teeth, shower, and get dressed on your own.
  10. Help Siblings: Be kind and help younger brothers or sisters.

TOGETHER WE ARE SNAPPERS!

EXTENDED LEARNING PROGRAM

Extended Learning at Cedarwood School is a positive experience for children as the program provides additional time for learning, socialization, and enrichment in a structured environment. During Extended Learning we offer activities that complement the school day, such as homework help, creative projects, and physical play, helping children develop new skills and interests. Additionally, the extended time with peers fosters stronger friendships and a sense of community, making the school experience more enjoyable and well-rounded.
