I am glad everyone had a great summer and has come back to school reenergized and ready to learn! We have wasted no time getting started on our Fifth Grade Georgia Performance Standards and currently we are working on WEATHER! 
This unit will include learning to Classify Plants and Animals!
The GPS is:

S5L1:
Students will classify organsims into groups and relate how they determined the groups with how and why scientists use classification.

a.   Demonstrate how animals are sorted into groups (vertebrae and invertebrae) and how vertebrates are sorted into groups (fish, amphibians, reptile, birds, and mammal)
b.   Demonstrate how plants are sorted into groups.
