LAST Peek at Our Week!!

How is the year over already? I really can't believe how quickly it all went by. I want to begin by saying how proud I am of our students this year. What a wonderful group of caring and hardworking kiddos! These two classes have made us smile everyday, and I am extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to teach them this year. I'm sad to think that they are moving on, but can't wait to see what they continue to achieve in sixth grade. My door is always open for visits, a check-in, a moment to brag about reaching a goal, anything! They will be rock stars next year for sure! Thank you SO much for sharing your child with us!

In lang & lit, we finished the year by having fun with reading and writing mysteries. The students LOVED these.....especially the extra dramatic stories! We focused our reading on Sherlock Holmes and the students had the opportunity to create their own mysteries which were amazing!

In writing, we finished up our narrative pieces by participating in round table reads. Students moved around the room "musical chairs style" and where ever they stopped, that was the peer narrative they read and reviewed. Students had to give positive feedback about specific parts of the story (figurative language, suspense, great lead, etc.).

In individuals & society, we tipped our toes into the world of economics. We had some great discussions about saving, spending, budgets, scarcity, and why studying the economy is so important. Definitely laying the foundation for more in depth work with this topic in the future!

Finally, we had some fantastic end of the year activities. Spirit Day, Track & Field Day, the Fifth Grade Talent Show, Reader's Theater with our buddies, and even our class picnic!! Lots of laughs, tons of fun....definitely getting us into "summer mode"!

 Have an amazing summer families!!! Enjoy the extra time together and thank you again for an incredible year! I know two little ones who are very excited to have Mommy & Daddy home for the summer....
