Our 5th graders really dug into our Holes unit this month! Along the way, they built their vocabulary, uncovered character traits, and mapped out timelines like true detectives. We even studied desert reptiles and got to meet a real bearded dragon. (No yellow-spotted lizards, we promise!) We wrapped it all up with the Holes movie and the iconic peaches and onions.
Learning never tasted so good!
