Fifth graders at Trempealeau Elementary have been researching their favorite authors and learning about their author's craft by analyzing the author's work and style of writing. As a final project, the fifth graders sent letters to their authors! They will be patiently waiting to see if their favorite authors send a response back.

Mrs. Thompson's 5th graders put their learning with decimals into action by turning their classroom into a restaurant! Everyone had the chance to play the role of a server while their "customers" ordered from menus from local businesses. Servers had to calculate the total cost of the meal and figure out how much change to give back once paid. The customers checked their server's math every step of the way to make sure they were being charged the appropriate amount and received the correct change back. Some of our servers ended up having V.I.P. customers that were very hungry and demanding. Once the server's job was complete, the customers made sure to tip their servers for their job well done!
