Jags is reading with Nick!

Jag has been very busy with Nick M. this week.  He enjoyed his time reading during our very first Book It and Bag It.  His favorite book to read was about the Green Bay Packers. He had to borrow Nick's glasses to read, but it all worked out good.  Jag also loved listening to everyone in Mrs. Amenson's class share their narrative stories.  He couldn't believe the suspense.  It has been a wonderful week with Jags, and we hope he comes back to visit soon!

Jag enjoyed a week of celebrating Dr. Seuss with The Jaguar Class.   He even got to eat green eggs
and ham with us.  He loved them!

Dr. Seuss!

It has been a fantastic week hanging out in 5V!  I got the chance to work on memoirs.  Did you know that the fifth graders are going to become published authors with a hardcover book and everything?!  That is just the coolest!  I also learned about space by playing a Jeopardy! review game; what a fun way to prepare for a test!  The fifth graders started a new math unit about long division.  Woah, is that some hard stuff; especially when there is a two-digit divisor!  The week ended with a celebration of Dr. Seuss.  I found a little time to hang out with some of my Seuss friends and read The Cat in the Hat.  It has been a great week in fifth grade.

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!
