Fifth Grade Night at the Museum

Submitted by dorie.thatcher on

On the night of November 15, 5th graders at Salem Elementary were on station and ready to come to life to present their annual “Night at the Museum” for parents and the community. This culminating activity had started a month and a half earlier, as each fifth grade student chose a famous person from history and then researched so they could do a biographical account on their famous person.

Hard to believe it has already been a week since Halloween, but it's never too late to post some cute pictures of all of the kiddies celebrating.  Halloween was a real treat for both students and teachers at Salem Elementary.  We all enjoyed the sunny, Halloween Day as we paraded around our school and the city block, and had classroom parties with lots of fun activities.  

Fourth Grade Visits Salem City Cemetery

Submitted by dorie.thatcher on

Fourth graders walked up to the Salem City Cemetery last week to participate in several learning activities. Students used subtraction to solve and find how many years people lived, looked for people who had served in the military, and also tried to find the person who was born the earliest in history.  

Students observed the plants and animals that they saw, as well as the weather and clouds.  They also looked for unique designs on headstones and did pencil rubbings.
