Mrs. Padgett

By Jeanine K – 6G

            I have chosen Mrs. Padgett’s class to be Classroom of the Month!  I would like to welcome Mrs. Padgett to DVES this year.   She has some interesting things happening in her classroom.  In honor of Roald Dahl, they are reading one of his many books, The Witches. The class celebrated his birthday will a D.E.A.R. party, thanks to contributions from their parents.

Mrs. Padgett said that the students wrote about their favorite activity over the summer and then they created beautiful scrap books to go along with what they wrote about. I think this is interesting!

In science, the class is exploring steps of the scientific method. They will be completing a few experiments in the next few weeks to investigate these steps.  Since this is the height of hurricane season, the class will follow and chart any hurricanes.

            In math they are learning about decimals! The class is also fine-tuning their multiplication skills.  

In social studies, the class will be presenting projects on each of the parts that make up our government.  They will then make a complete diagram of the three branches of government.

Mrs. Padgett’s class is extremely busy, but they are having a great time learning in fifth grade!

Thanks again to Mrs. Padgett for answering my questions!
