Thursday is Jeopardy Day

Thursdays are always fun because Mr. Exner plays Jeopardy with us as a review for Friday's tests.

8 ways we are smart

We read the book How We Are Smart and learned about the different ways people are smart. We read the poems out loud to the class and discussed how each person was smart then we made

Tuesday, REACH Day

Today the REACH students started their classes with Mrs. Wagoner. Because we have such a large REACH class, Mrs. Jan Pushaver will be working with Mrs. Wagoner.

New Routines

Today we learned about all the 5th grade routines. Mrs. Evans emphasized the importance of our Daily Language sheets. They will be easy 100's if we keep with up them and pay attention. We started reading the book Frindle by Andrew Clements in Reading with Mrs. Heaberlin. Mr. Exner gave us our Daily Math sheet, and we worked on it. Our recess is after lunch, and boy was it hot today. Today was Zach's birthday, so we sang to him.

 

 

First Day Fun

I really enjoyed the first day of school this year. The students were alert, attentive, witty, and engaging. Playing the "two truths and a lie" game helped me get to know the students. Many in this group already enjoy reading and writing, so I think writing workshop is going to be really interesting this year. Most students turned in their paper work-THANKS parents!! In math students played a game with Mr. Exner, and he realized there are many students that need to brush up on their times tables. Knowing your times tables is vital to success in 5th grade. Please take time to review these. There are many online games that help with math facts, but I have found the easiest way to learn these is to practice when traveling in the car. Just pick out 4-5 facts to review during each trip to town. Open House is Thursday Night! I am excited about a great year!

Today was the first day of school and everyone was having a ball. We played 2 games. The first was 2 truths and a lie and the second was a multiplication game. 5th grade is the best and so are the teachers.
