We are blogging again!

I am excited to update this classroom blog. We now have access to Chromebooks, and it will be easier for students and me to update our blog. For today, we just wanted to say hello and let you know to be looking for regular updates. Below you can see the 5th graders actively engaged in learning about immigration while using the Chromebooks.

End of Year Video

Some people have called to let me know that their copy of the end of year video is not working. I have made extra copies and placed them in the front office for pick up. Come by and get a new one if yours is not working. Have a great summer!

Play Fling the Teacher

A Perfect Saturday

We have been reviewing some writing basics and warming up our writing muscles these first 2 weeks of school. We have learned several techniques writers use to get ideas from heart maps to list making. Our first writing goal is to utilize topic sentences and effective conclusions (NOT That's all I have to say!!!!) Many students have shined with their ability to create paragraphs. Here is Cidney's example; leave her a comment with some helpful feedback.

A Perfect Saturday

On my perfect Saturday, I would stay up late and eat some chocolate and candy. Some people would prefer to be a couch potato, I do that sometimes. My favorite thing to do on a Saturday is to go to Starlite. The place is amazing. They have roller skating, lazer tag, and an unlimited indoor playground. Also, I love to go to the movies to check out what is new. A perfect Saturday spent. What a day!
