Well, I am back in fifth grade again this week!  My morning started out with a D.A.R.E. lesson.  The fifth graders are learning about some pretty serious information.  I think it is great that they are learning ways to handle peer pressure and how to say "NO" to drugs and alcohol.  I can't wait to see what the rest of the week has in store!

Wow!  Fifth graders work hard.  I am learning about everything from George Washington to outer space.  Here I am reading about life in colonial times.  It was interesting, but I think I am happy that I live in the present times.  Life was hard back then!

I took a break from schoolwork to relax and watch the fish swimming.  I promise I didn't try to eat any of them. 

Wow! I got my very first valentine from Kadence, the 3rd grade student that was lucky enough to have me this week. She even wrote me a poem - "Roses are red, violets are blue, you are sweet and I like you." It's amazing how kind kids at Pioneer School are!
