Math Study Group
Mr. Exner holds a math study group every Thursday from 2:30-3:15 to help prepare for Friday's math test. This is free tutoring available for all 5th graders. They do not have to sign up; they just have to have pre-arranged transportation home at 3:15. Today students worked on reducing fractions using a competitive game format.
Science fun
Students learned how to think like a scientist by completing a fun bubble gum experiment.
We are recycling now!
Our school now has a paper recycling program. Families can send in junk-mail, magazines, newspapers, and any scrap paper. The kids have been working on making a science video-commercial-as often happens with technology, we have had a few glitches-hopefully the commercials will be available soon.

A New Classroom
Wow-what a quick summer we had this year! I am so excited about our new classroom space for this year-I moved into Mrs. Heaberlin's classroom since she retired. I think everything is now organized and ready for the new year-one of my goals this year is to stay organized-students will be reporting in on that goal in a few weeks. I met many of my new students today and can't wait to get to know them more.
