Teaching and Learning New Things

During the first trimester we have done many new academic activities and social activities. I’ve enjoyed teaching students about Google Earth, to create Tours of Famous Explorers. I’ve also enjoyed going to the Apple Store so students could experience the power of Macs and Rollerskating because it’s one of my fave things to do. Which academic AND social activity have you enjoyed so far in 5th grade?

EMTs ~ Math Tutoring

It’s pretty awesome that so many parents, former students, community members and a middle school teacher have stepped up to help students in Math! Every Wednesday, for 30 minutes our classroom is full of engaged students who are being supported in math. Thanks to them students are making progress in Math.

FAVORITE NOVEL

Currently, my favorite Novel of all time is still “The Stand” by Stephen King. I enjoy it because it is a suspenseful thriller. My favorite Genres are Fantasy and Science Fiction. I like books about magical things and books about what the future might be like. Besides “Diary of A Wimpy Kid” and “The Lightnening Thief” series. What is one book you’d recommend to your peers to read? Why do you recommend it to your peers? What genre is it?
