 The seniors of Abingdon have been having a blast learning through art, music, and technology!
  The fifth grade kicked off the year writing poetry by looking at artwork that interested us. Students discovered that using elements of art can help us be descriptive in our writing.

 

   One of the exciting things fifth graders are doing in science is using iPads to apply what they learn about light and sound. The students compose their own music mix by recording everyday sounds and lights on the iPad application called, MadPad.


   Throughout the year, fifth graders are also learning through the use of laptops. Students develop Keynote presentations in math and write articles using Pages that will be compiled into an online magazine.
