Fifth grade students researched more about what it means to be an immigrant, how we identify human rights, and what the intersections of the two have been in American history.  Students read primary sources on immigration and identified both stories and characters with whom they could relate. Also, students were able to use their math skills to determine the best way to display change in population with graphs. ​
Adventure
​Workshop with an actor and visit to Center for Civil and Human Rights

Fifth grade students explored the elements of the stock market, biodiversity and the environment by understanding the concepts of the Dichotomous Key. Students were able to use the dichotomous key as a tool to identify certain characteristics of large energy corporations. Also, Students were able to use The Great Depression as their historical backdrop which allowed them to research more information about the effects that money has on the environment. Students invested in at least three companies, one of which had to be eco-friendly and created eBooks on their research into biodiversity in the rainforest.
Adventure
Georgia Power field trip
Final Products
Stock market portfolios and essays, rainforest e-books, Picasso-Inspired (cubism) artwork, Great Depression storyboards

Fifth graders reflected on personal qualities that leaders of social change possess.  After researching these leaders, students created displays to showcase attributes that made them an effective leader. Students dressed up to replicate images of effective leaders to create a visual representation to characterize them.  Also, students created an animal hybrid that would be the most “fit” to survive multiple threats based on their study of learned and acquired traits and classification of animals.
