Two Big Fifth Grade Events

On Tuesday, we had Field Day.  It was so nice outside and we had a great time.  Today, we had the Fifth Grade Luncheon.  We walked to Azoni's and had a wonderful lunch.

Follow us on some of the Field Day events and then some pictures at Azoni's.

Teacher Appreciation Week

This teacher has been very humbled by the wonderful week of gifts.  Each day, I have been surprised with something special from my students.  Our whole class has enjoyed the beautiful flowers I received on Monday.  My family is enjoying the fruit the students brought on Tuesday.  I cherish the poems my students wrote for me on Wednesday.  These poems will always have a warm place in my heart and will make me smile when I remember each student.  Today was chocolate day!  I was feeling no stress after enjoying some of the many kinds of candy I received.  I can't wait to see what awaits me tomorrow.  The smiling faces of your children as they enter the classroom always brightens up my morning.

I want to sincerely thank you for all of these kindnesses this week.  Teaching is a very rewarding and challenging career.  I am honored to have been a part of your children's education.  I have had the pleasure of watching these 10 years old grew and mature. They are eager to go to the next level of their education.  I am confident they are ready for the challenges awaiting them in Middle School.  I will miss them and hope they will keep in touch.

Again, thank you for this wonderful week and for the support you have given me all year.

Famous Eggs in History

April 16, 2007

Today was our first day of CRCT testing beginning with Reading.  It was a long morning but the students did a great job and worked very hard.  Tomorrow the CRCT continues with the Language Arts test.  The students might want to go to our website to the English section and do some of the interactive websites.

Some students took an egg from our Egg Race and turned it into an historical figure from the time period of history we study in fifth grade.  They turned out great!  Our famous eggs include Rosa Parks, Adolph Hitler, Einstein, and Teddy Roosevelt.

                                                                              

New Furry Friends

Our class has new pets.  On Wednesday, our two Chinese Dwarf Hamsters came to live in Room 309.  We are having so much fun observing their behaviors.   In Science we are beginning to study about classification of plants and animals.  They are a great additions to our classroom.  See if you can find them in the pictures.  We have not picked names, but we have about eight or nine names that have been submitted to be considered and voted on by the class.
