5th graders finished their Food Truck units. Students celebrated their Food Truck projects with friends. They shared their business plans, took "food" orders, and added/subtracted decimals using money. It was a fun way to have math come to life.
5th Grade ELA students learned how to enrich their writing with alliteration. We learned Amanda Gorman, a famous poet overcame her speech challenge by using alliteration. Students discovered that speech teachers use alliteration to practice a particular sound that students struggle with. The fifth grade made a connection between alliteration and tongue twisters. They created a book Gorham elementary speech teachers could use.

4th Grade Math students discovered Shpero/Indie. Maine schools received a grant to purchase these kits through "Expanding Access to Computer Science in Maine Classrooms." Students explored how they worked and how computer science is connected to their lives.
4th Grade ELA students analyzed a poem from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Lighthouse. This aligns with the Maine History unit in their classrooms.
