Hello, Origami Carrie!!

5B was SO FORTUNATE today to have Aiden's mom, Carrie, come in to demonstrate how to make Origami creature bookmarks!  Aiden showed us one of his earlier this year and jumped at the chance to bring in his mom to show ALL of 5B how to make this super little guys!  The class had a BLAST using their own creativity to make their own monsters, animals, and minions!  I saw several students whip out their iPads to search samples of what they could make!  Such 21st Century learners!

As you can see from collages below..... it was a FABULOUS time!





















Carrie and Aiden,  we are so appreciative of the time and supplies you shared with us!  I know many 5B students took another piece or 2 of the paper to show their families how to make them!  That's what I call being....  INSPIRED!!!

Today's MAPs testing seemed LONG, but the students did an excellent job being patient when the Internet wasn't working OR if the test wasn't starting for them OR if the test quit in the middle AND many other interruptions!  Again, please bring a small DRY snack OR gum to chew for alertness and good focus on Thursday (Reading MAPs) and Friday (Math MAPs) if you CHOOSE.

With a field trip last Friday, a 3 day weekend, and screwy schedules of testing this week, it's been a wee bit tough to get back into a routine and show that self-control.  Some students are fantastic MODELS for this.... Others are not putting forth their best efforts.  Let's work as a 5B Family (We are family....)  and figure this out!

Blog Proof??  Hmmmm...I'm thinking since our testing took SOOOO LONG today, I'd like to start testing as soon as we get attendance and pledge done.  So, I'll know you checked the blog IF you...
1) Pop your attendance balloon
2)  Grab your iPad (will be set up for testing so DON'T TOUCH ANY BUTTONS YET!!)
3) Put it upside down at your home and show your absolute FOCUS by meditating and thinking positive thoughts (Thoughts....not spoken out loud) about the MAPs Reading Test:)

Look at the picture below and how you should be meditating!
