The Rally

(Before participating in this blogging activity, you must have completed the mapping activity.  In the mapping activity you were to use Google Maps to pinpoint your location on the class map, calculate the distance to the rally in Washington, D.C., and look for your closest "neighbors" to determine who you might ride with to the rally.  CLICK HERE to do this now.)

Today you need to blog with your fellow Shadow Child friends about the upcoming rally at the President's house. What are your plans? Are you going? If not, why not? If so, how are you getting there? How long will it take you to get there? Do your parents know you are going? What are your feelings about going? Are you afraid? What are your hopes about what will happen?
Tell us your plans and then communicate with your "neighbors" to coordinate rides, talk about the upcoming rally, etc.

The End of the Year is Almost Here!

Here we are at the end of the school year!  Take a moment to think about your fifth grade year and answer the following three questions.

• What are your best memories from fifth grade?  
• What is something that you learned?  
• What is the best advice that you can give to a rising fifth grader?
