Week 2/Week 3

   Another week down! In Reading, students were assigned Reading groups and started reading in their groups and with me. They each had to write a summary for the chapters assigned. After students finish the books they are reading, I will set up Edmodo and they will complete all reading assignments on there. In Writing, students started to learn about the 6 traits, and will continue to do so this coming week. In Projects, students were introduced to their first project and were assigned to their groups. Students will continue research this project this week and some of them may be coming home with supply lists. 

Hope Everyone has a Great Weekend! 

We are off and rolling....

   We have one week under our belt now. The first week was filled with mainly getting our routines and procedures down. Next week, we will continue to work on our routines and procedures, but we will start our more normal schedule. In Reading, the students will be assigned a Reading Group. Students will meet with their Reading groups and with me throughout the week. This will all take place in our Daily 5, Cafe routine with Read to Self, Read to Someone, and Word Work. In Writing, We will start introducing the different traits of Writing.  In Projects, we will start a new project called, " Who would move to Nevada?' In this project, students will learn about how Nevada became a state as well as learning about the early settlers. 

I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend :)

Back to School Night

   Hope to see everyone tomorrow night, open house is from 5 to 6. We will all meet in the lunch room at 6 for a general meeting, then in my room at 6:30-7:00. We will be going over the 5th grade expectations for the school year, as well as handling out the traditional white binder with the student handbook inside. The white binder will be your child's binder for the school year, please send it to school with them on Monday. If you haven't begun to follow this blog yet, please take a minute to do so. It will save you time and hassle later! I am located in Mrs. Bloomfield's old room, #5, look for the red door with the saddle on it.

Fifth grade is gonna rock that Bighorn Blue!
