Conference Night

This year, our conference night for your child is scheduled for Thursday, May 23rd. By following the link below, you will be able to sign up for a time slot for a conference with your child. In fifth grade, the conferences are student-led, which means your child will be running the show. Please be sure to sign up for ONE time slot. If you are having difficulty accessing the document, please let me know and I will find a way to get you signed up. Thanks in advance!

Wordle Example

I find Wordle to be a great resource for making a collage using text. It is very user friendly and the possibilities are endless! I made a quick Wordle using words that I think of when I reflect on the new resources I have found over the past few weeks. Here's the link to the Wordle I created: Web 2.0 Wordle

Teacher Trainings Are in Full Force

I just finished a three-day 5th grade science training and am that much more excited about a ton of new ideas I have compiled for next year! In the upcoming weeks, I am registered to attend many more 5th grade content area trainings that I hope to gain endless amounts of ideas I can share with both my students and co-workers next year.

With that said, I have a few things that I have been working on that will be added to the blog in the upcoming weeks. These include information for parents/students regarding my classroom procedures, a list of expectations for fifth graders, and content-specific tabs that will keep parents/students up-to-date with the topics being taught throughout the year. Check back soon for updates! I am excited to get those up and running on the blog.
