Fifth Grade

May 2, 2019:  MSE Fifth grader Adriannah Amrhein earned her Silver Performance Award this week, affectionately known as the "double black belt."  Congratulations to my hard-working, self-motivated scholars.  

April 1, 2019:  Our fifth graders visited the beach last week and learned that the life of a Sea Turtle is not an easy one! Thanks to the Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles Volunteers for organizing fun, educational activities for our students. Friends of South Walton Sea Turtles volunteers are dedicated to promoting sea turtle conservation through awareness and education for the residents and 3 million+ visitors to Walton County, Florida. Now that our students know the challenges that Sea Turtles face, we consider ourselves lifelong friends of sea turtles too!

March 28, 2019:  MSE 5th graders visited Emerald Coast Technical College today and learned about the many programs the school offers. The students visited several programs, including Nursing and Health Science, Information Technology, Automotive, Electricity, and Cosmetology. In addition, Career Source provided each student with a printout of career paths that they are best suited for, based on results of an online interest survey they took. Maude Saunders is fortunate to have an awesome business partner like ECTC!!

March 1, 2019:  Fifth grade music students wrote content-based thank you letters to the Northwest Florida Symphony Orchestra after visiting the performance of Peter vs. the Wolf.  We appreciate the opportunity to participate in this truly joyful experience.

January 23, 2019:  MSE fifth graders are taking ownership of their learning by participating in student-led conferences with their parents.  These students are able to speak with confidence about what they know and how they learned it. They set goals, monitor their own progress, and reflect on their own strengths and areas for improvement.

October 31, 2018:  Scenes from the 5th grade vocabulary parade today! Our fifth graders did a great job presenting their words and definitions to the school!

These MSE fifth grade students are using properties of matter to identify various substances.

Congratulations to our 2018-2019 Tropicana Public Speaking Contest contestants and winners! They all did a wonderful job today. The first and second place winners from 4th and 5th grade will now advance to the district level competition on December 18th.
