It was such fun spending time this month in every fifth grade class for enrichment! Students were introduced to a fake language called "Nurtz," and they worked to translate a story using the language. Critical thinking skills were called for as students had to piece together the clues in the illustrations and the number of letters in the words to figure out what made sense. Some students were even inspired to create their own fake languages, so be on the lookout for coded messages in your house!
