Rituals and Routines

One reason (there are many) I love teaching 5th Grade is that 5th Graders are very familiar with R&R! It makes our job so much easier and we are able to jump right into working our minds! We did put some work up on our hallway bulletin board. If you are on campus, be sure and stop by and check it out. The assumptions of what "scientists" look like are pretty far fetched! We promise you that we will not be blowing anything up this year EXCEPT balloons.
These are our student drawings. We did not hang our parent drawings yet!
When students enter the room in the morning they work on Calendar Math and Daily Math. This helps our brains get started for the day.
Have you ever played Hang Mouse!! It is so much fun!!!
Welcome to http://spellingcity.com/ ! We have loaded your first words in! Have fun- your first Word Study and Vocabulary Test will be Monday! Below is how our Word Study and Vocabulary lists will come home.
We are really having fun with Social Studies this year! Our first unit is all about landforms and resources. Today we started creating our conservation towns.
Today we practiced using the glossary to find vocabulary words. This will usually be done at home, but we wanted to make sure we were all adept at using the glossary. And guess what.. they were!!!
Another successful day of learning in Room 138! You guys Rock-N-Roll!
See you in the PM!!
