Happy New Year! Set Your Goals HIGH!!!!!

In just a couple of days, it will be the beginning of a New Year: 2012!!!!!! I just wanted to post Happy New Year greetings to my students (and some former students who still check in on the blog)! I hope the new year will be full of excitement, fun, lots of learning, and lots of you achieving your goals that you set for yourselves! Make it a GREAT year and one to remember!!!
Also please remember that January 2nd is still part of the break and teachers have a teacher workday on Tuesday, January 3rd so students are NOT to come back until Thursday January 4th! Be ready to start your Benchmark Testing! I hope you have studied a little bit over the break! Don't forget everything that you have learned! AND READ!!!!!!! Love you all!

Science Projects On Plant And Animal Cells!

Here are the pictures from the Science Projects that students made showing the parts of animal and plant cells. They were so creative and the students really enjoyed presenting them in class and eating a few too! GREAT JOB 5th-Grade!!!!

Merry Christmas To My 5th-Graders!

Today was our last day of school. We had our party yesterday and then today was the Sing-A-Long and Goody Bags. Thanks to all of the parents who donated goodies to make the Goody Bags! I hope Santa is good to all of my students and that they enjoy some extra time relaxing and hanging out with friends and family! Make sure you study a little during the break so you will be ready for your benchmark tests when we go back to school, but also take some time to relax, rest, and HAVE FUN! Be safe!

Science Projects Due Tomorrow!!!!!!!!

Just a quick reminder that Science projects are due tomorrow......you've had a week and three days! It's time to see what all of your creative minds have come up with as models for plant and animals cells!!!! I can't WAIT! We'll be taking pictures and posting some of them on here! Remember to check your instruction sheet with the copy of the rubric that I will use to grade your projects. See you in the morning!
