To practice the art of compromise and to learn how to accomplish tasks as a team, each table group of students had to name their group, create a cheer, and perform it for the class together. They rocked it!

The amazing table groups:
The Sour Gummy Bears: August, Anthony, and Emily
The Tuesday Timberwolves: Ryan, Caitlin, and Maggie
The Three Musketeers: Tommy, Kate, and Trisha
The Velvet Flying Tigers*: Cordy, Henry, Ben, and Liana
The Fantastic Friday Four: Whitney, DeAngi, Julia, and Jansyn

The 5th grade presented the Pine Hill Core Values to the entire school at Friday's All School Meeting. Ms. Darrah's class presented an amazing acrostic poem about Personal Responsibility. Ms. Lundquist's class created entertaining skits to demonstrate the meaning of Excellence in Learning. Ms. Correia's class explained our School Rules in a creative and clear way. Our class created a video montage of how we can show respect and concern for others based on our differences. It was a hit!


With generous help from Mr. Randa, our multi-talented special education teacher, we learned how to use iMovie and narration techniques to get our message across. We hope you enjoy our presentation!

Students learned some Graphic Design Tips to help make their visual work "pop." Check out their success with their name tag designs. The categories for each corner were: Family, Hobbies, Favorite Things, and Special Place.

Note: Three more students still need to finish.
