Week 1: Complete!

Hello 5D families!

What a fabulous first four days we had!  Even with the heat, your children all worked so hard.  I already feel like I'm getting to know them as individuals.  Next week we will continue some team building activities while getting into a bit more of a routine.  Here are some of the things we did this week that you can ask your child about.

  • STEM activities with 5L: Apples A Far, Build a Tower, Apples A Head Relay
  • ZENtangles with 5D, 5L and 5P
  • Bucket Team building with 5L (some got WET!)
  • Team Building Lessons: "What Helps, What Hurts"  "All are Welcome" "What Teamwork Looks Like and Feels Like"
  • COMING SOON! Houses in 5th Grade: Kindness, Strength, Integrity, Courage, Respect 
  • Art activities: Top Ten, Personal Mantras, Personal Posters
  • Room Tour
  • Encore: PE, Library, Music so far
  • Snack (they met Mrs. Lucas at their first snack)
  • Morning Meeting
Reminder:
This year fifth grade will be doing curriculum night a little different! We will be having an open house, which means you and your child are welcome to attend.  Your child will show you around the classroom and show you a few things that are important to them. There will be a curriculum packet available for you to take home and look through.  Please feel free to drop in any time between 6:30 and 7:30 pm on Thursday, September 6th.

Room Parent needed! Any volunteers? I'd be forever grateful and I don't ask for much... :)

Enjoy your long weekend! Here are some pictures from our week. Enjoy!

Until Tuesday....
