Week One Wrap Up

Wow, what a powerful first week we have shared!  Our classroom community is already bustling with the energy of all of the learners in the room!  In a mere three days, we have done A LOT!  Here's just a taste: reviewed and processed the school norms, created classroom norms, took the math pre-test, created images representing our individuality, learned and practiced school and classroom routines, wrote and shared six-word stories, took district writing prompt, visited the library, learned about the strings program, attended an assembly, and attended all special classes. 

Processing the school norms to better understand them.

Working hard to earn a leadership role as fifth graders at Captain.

We have also introduced the students to a new online system for using our classroom library.  Now they can check out books and write reviews of what they read within our classroom.  Since it is web-based, it can be accessed from home, too.  To see how this works, go to our classroom webpage:

The classroom library information is found under "Web Resources" on the menu to the left of the page.  We will continue to add on to the class webpage throughout the course of the school year, and hope to make it a helpful tool for both students and their families. 

We hope that everyone enjoyed a good first week back.  Enjoy the beautiful weekend!
