 SPIRIT WEEK! 

 The 5th grade had a fun week getting into the HCA spirit with their various dress down days. On Wednesday they celebrated sweats day and all sported their Crocs for extra comfort and style.

POETRY TIME!

 The 5th grade started their poetry unit this week. They started off writing a simple free verse poem describing themselves and supplemented it with colorful artwork. The students included everything from their favorite celebrities to their pets' names as part of their autobiographical poems. Next they will be learning about (and writing) couplets and haikus! They are also studying the various devices writers utilize to make their poems come alive for the reader such as metaphor, hyperbole, and oxymoron.

Fifth grade finished their blankets for Project Linus this week.  

Students also dissected owl pellets this week in science class. Owl pellets are regurgitated parts of their meals that they can't digest. These pellets are from Barn Owls, which is a species found in PA. Owls eat small rodent or birds. The 5th graders took apart the pellets to find all of the bones and fur that wasn't digested. You can create a whole skeleton of the animal from the pellet to find out what the owl ate!
