Summer Has Officially Started!

Wow... now that my eyes have dried back up and I've gotten ahold of myself, I can take a deep breath and enjoy the fact that summer has begun. I do still have another day to spend at school on Tuesday for teacher workshops and cleaning up the room, but this weekend's weather has given me a wonderful taste of summer fun! I hope all my "former" 5Ber's have had an enjoyable weekend to start off their vacations as well.

I wanted to thank my 5B Babycakes one more time for a wonderful year. You were a super class to teach, and I will brag about you to the upcoming 5B students and your future 6th grade teachers.

I'll continue to share thoughts throughout the summer on the blog. As a 5B student, you have a free pass to always check the 5B Blog, see what's going on with me, the newest class, photos, etc. Oh, and speaking of photos, I'll be putting on a newer slideshow of pictures from the last 2 months of school, so make sure to check back and see if there are any of you in them!!

Have fun in the sun..and make sure to say hi, give me a hug or a high five if you see me sometime this summer! You can also leave a comment for me or the rest of the checkers!

Take care...and signing off the 2009-2010 school year...

Love,

Mrs. Sorenson

Summer almost here!!!

2 more days until Summer.

SCHOOLS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember that a special day is on this Thursday (tomorrow) and to bring your own lunch and drink. You can even bring a water bottle if you want.

Book fair is done on Thursday so get your money and go get a book before tommorrow!

Heres a summer joke. What is curvy and has water going down it? A water slide! BACON IS YUMMY! FRUIT SALAD YUMMY YUMMY!

Hey this is Anna and Hailey!☺ We have 1 week left of school. We are finishing up all of our projects this week. So on the last 2 days we can have fun days. Also make sure you study your script too. We'll know you checked the blog if you write your name on the chalkboard and by your name write happy summer!☺

Anna and Hailey

The days are counting down!!!

Hey 5B this is Adam and Colten. Remember that track and field day is tomorrow wear tennis shoes. We had 2 test today and our step books were do today. Rember to finish out the school year with good resposibility and make the teacher proud. We will now if you checked the blog if you propose to Mrs. Sorenson at the door when you first come in. Remember that this is Adam and Colten byyeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!

2nd to Last Monday... Sad but True

I can NOT believe how fast time flies. It seems like we were just meeting at 3rd quarter conferences! My babies are growing up and getting ready to leave me! I'm sure most of you are checking that countdown on the side of the blog, with smiles getting bigger and bigger!

I'll know you checked the blog tonight if you write down the days, hours, minutes and seconds from the countdown at the time you checked the blog. Show it to me in the morning before we have Mrs. Schmitt share her Wusabi news.

Remember what I mentioned at the end of the day today... getting work done on time and done with 5th grade expectations results in a wonderful and enjoyable day on Friday at our Track and Field Day. If work is not done, is late or is not done to your best ability, you should not plan on spending that morning of with your classmates. (Remember, 3 strikes, and you're OUT.) Hopefully, there will be no need to worry about this set-up, but I just wanted to remind you that the teachers are prepared to follow through with this arrangement. I beg (challenge) you to prove us wrong!!!

Wacky Wednesday...

On top of it being a wacky day with an early-out, we got the bad news of our field trip being cancelled on Thursday. I'm thinking we're better off being warm and dry in our classrooms than freezing our hineys off dripping wet. At least we still have Friday's trip to St. Paul to look forward to. So, don't forget all of your items, lunch, etc.

Now, that the teachers have had a chance to chat, we're thinking it might be the perfect opportunity to view some commercials of some wonderful new products out on the market! We'll plan on doing this at the end of the day tomorrow. Get ready to see our fabulous actors and actresses try to persuade you to buy these products!!

Don't Forget...
Memory Piece draft due tomorrow
Math Snack Note due tomorrow
Piece #4 due Tuesday (May 18)
Reading Civil War Song Extra Credit due next Wednesday (May 19)
Math Extra Credit due next Thursday (May 20)

I'll know you checked the blog today/tonight if write down something you would like to learn about while on our field trip on Friday. Share it with me when you come in right away in the morning! It's always smart to have a PURPOSE for learning!

Bodda Bing, Bodda Boom!

5B has continued their "perfect" streak in the classroom. Teachers can't get enough of them and their yearning for learning!! There have been some isolated situations with poor choices on the playground, but that is by no means the majority of our little munchkins! Thanks to everyone for such wonderful behavior!! As I type this post, I am trying to keep Isaiah away from my laptop. Apparently he has something to say to you all....

m çƒ ∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞†g'c , v.c/lv ;/l/CV ./

So there you have it! The thoughts of an almost 1 year old are amazing, aren't they?

I'll know you checked the blog tonight if you come up with a "translation" for Isaiah's message above. You can write it on a piece of paper. After the pledge, raise your hand and say, "Isaiah's message is...." and read off your translation to the class!

I also wanted to congratulate everyone (except Anna until tomorrow's class) for a job well done with their commercials. You all "wowed" me! I didn't know what to expect when I assigned you that project, but I am pleasantly surprised! Way to go. Looks like some of you have a future in advertising!

Good luck studying for your puberty test. I'm sure your parents just love studying with you! Also, keep your book bins filled with books you are able to enjoy. We'll finally get some read to self time back in our literacy time!

Have super nights, and we'll see ya'll Tuesday!
