Welcome Back To School

Welcome to 5th grade!

I am excited to start a great year with this new class. We will do many exciting things in this last year of Elementary school. I hope your student has been coming home with happy reports and can't wait to be on the morning announcements, lead the recycling efforts, and join band. These are all 5th grade exclusive activities that many have been waiting for.

I am going to enlist the class to be in charge of this blog and updating it with news from our classroom and the school.

Stay Tuned!

Student Blog Post #1- Maggie, Alana, Tatum, and Michael

Hey 5B! This is Maggie, Michael, Alana, and Tatum here! We are going to talk a little bit about what we did in school this week. We started off the week by remembering what happened on 9/11, a terrorist attack that changed many people's lives. On Tuesday we got our new schedules for the beginning of the day and reading MAP, which took up most of our day. We started Wednesday by doing math MAP, which took up 2 hours of our day! So, we weren't able to do science and social studies that day. Then on Thursday, we did our name projects about how we got our name and fun facts about it!  Finally on Friday, we had gym for the fifth time this week, and we presented our Social Study projects and finished our name projects. We are getting ready for open house tuesday next week Now there is open house on Tuesday next week you are welcome to come and you can bring your kids if they are in the school or is in 5B.This has been a week of fun in school. Bloggers out!  

Welcome to 5B

Welcome back to school!

I am so excited to start the new year with this class of 5th graders. We are going to have the best year ever. This August begins my 14th year in 5th grade, and my 11th here at Johnny Appleseed. I will be teaming once again with Mrs. Demers, although she will be back later in the school year after her maternity leave. My content areas are ELA, Social Studies, and Writing, and the class will switch for math and science.

I use the service "Remind" fairly often. If you sign up, it will send notices and reminders by text to your phone. The link is below
