Wacky Wednesday Over!

5B,
I know today was quite a goofy day for a schedule. Only 15 minutes of literacy class?? That's crazy! At least tomorrow will be normal for us. The Cadet Pride Teams are REALLY fighting for this week's win. I haven't seen so many blue tickets for any of the teams! Way to go! Let's see who takes on this week's champion role! I love seeing so many of you mix up with other friends. One of your classmates even told me after school today, "I'm really getting to know my team. I used to just hang out with ******, but now I am learning about more people." That was a fantastic comment to hear! I am seeing everyone really look out for each other, too, whether it is for homework or Cadet Pride behaviors. Thanks for being such a thoughtful, caring bunch of students!

Here's your chance to prove you checked the blog. Come up with words that describe the qualities of a true FRIEND. Do it like this...
F is for ....
R is for...
I is for...
E is for..
N is for...
D is for...
If you prove to check the blog, I'll send YOU and some other blog-checking friends up to lunch before the rest of the class!

Oh, I'm also putting the "Draw My Thing" link on Stumble Upon Favorites. If you're at home, you'll be able to play it. Let me know if you like it!

Interlude Dance Sweeps through 5th Grade!!

Hey, 5B,
I had a great time dancing with you today! If you get a chance to share the Interlude Dance with your family, please do! See if you can get them to dance it with you. I'd love to hear the comments from your parents about having to do this dance! So, this is the way to prove you checked the blog. Have your parents write a note saying, "Yes, child's name, made me do the dance with them!" If you check this is the morning at school, you can prove it by having Mrs. Vandervort or another adult in the Discovery Center learn it. Click on the link the the video to the right of this post!

Long Time, No Blog, Huh?

5B, I realized as I looked at the last post, it's been a while since I last wrote on the blog. Shame, shame, you know my name! Sorry.... Last week was a pretty busy week, with report card work and working on our technology projects. I think this week will be a bit more relaxed. Well, I hope so.

I wanted to thank all of the kids and families who were able to make it to the Spring Open House. I loved watching the kids show their parents their tech projects, the Smartboard games, etc. It was great to have so many people in for such a fun and relaxed evening. So, thank you again!

Also, I wanted to remind kids and families that report cards for 3rd quarter will come home on Monday. It's hard to believe we are starting the last quarter. In a few short weeks, I'll be saying goodbye to my 5B Angels (ding)... Tear drop... Well, since it has to come, let's make it the best quarter yet!

Reminders for this Week...
Book Fair - Monday from 8 - Noon Only
Book Club Pages and Coffee Talks - if anyone wants to donate juice, feel free... we're drinking it as fast as it comes in:) Thank you to Ryan and Adam's families for helping us out!
Science Quiz
Finish Tech Projects - Share on Wednesday

I'll know you checked the blog if you can name the 5B student that has been Cartoonized to the right of the blog. Write the person's name on a post-it note. Make sure YOUR name is also on it, and I'll be giving you a little treat for your proof of checking the blog!

See you Monday!!

No Team Winner Yet???

Hey, there, 5B Babycakes!
I hope your weekend went well. I missed you Friday. Luckily, I saw a few of you after school as you were walking out of the building. I was excited to hear which Cadet Pride Team won the first week, and it sounds like there was some confusion. I actually know who won because I counted all of the points on Thursday night because I couldn't wait to see! It sounds like there were some missing tickets on Friday. I won't tell you who won on the blog, but I will announce it Monday after attendance and pledge! I'm curious which award the winning team will choose!!

Don't worry if your team didn't win this week. We've got another week ahead of us! Who knows who will take on the Cadet Pride Winner of the Week Title this Friday! I even saw some new tickets up on the bulletin board when I stopped in this weekend! Great job earning tickets while I was gone!

I'll be sending home a note Monday for some events coming up the rest of this month, April and May, but I'll list a few of them below.
All This Week - Coffee Talks! Be ready to share, have your pages read and thinking page done!
Wednesday, March 16 - 3 Hour Early Out
Friday, March 18 - Spring Open House 6 - 7 p.m. - show off Tech Projects

I'll know you checked the blog if you can tell me in which country has an earthquake and tsunami taken the lives of almost 90,000 people. If you haven't been watching the news, then check the link to the right of this post. It's labeled, "Earthquake and Tsunami".

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARISSA!!!!!!!!!

Check the video to the right labeled "Allison and Karissa's Video. Everything you need to know is there! Happy viewing! Listen carefully.

Let's Go, TEAMS!!!

5B,

I thought you guys did an amazing job on Friday working together with your teams to come up with names, mottos, leaders and strengths about each other. Now, that's a fantastic start to getting a team together. It looks like we have some points to add up from Friday already. I'm sure there will be plenty more throughout this week. If you haven't told your families about our Cadet Pride teams, please do. Explain to them each of the different tickets, how you earn them, what they are worth and what happens if YOUR team wins for the week!! As you left on Friday afternoon, every single one of you liked the idea of the teams. So, I'm glad to see such a positive, excited attitude to help each other and yoursleves out! I also LOVED seeing all of the teams check up with each other after planners. That was VERY IMPRESSIVE! Good job looking out for each other.

Heads up for this week....

Monday - Starting Projects in Writing! Can't wait! (Focus Group - Mrs. Wilson)

Tuesday - Radical Readers!

Wednesday - Art Club - don't forget your permission slip if you haven't been there before

Thursday - Special Literacy Class - bring a coffee cup or mug to class - make sure it's ok with parents first

Friday - Mrs. Sorenson is gone today! I'll tell you why this week!

I'll know you checked the blog if you give a small yellow ticket to someone in our class on Monday morning who IS NOT on your team. Look for someone that you think is following directions well, has out their materials, is not chatting, etc. You'll need to ask me for a yellow ticket right as you walk in. Circle what quality (caring, responsible, etc.) and put his/her name on it. Give it back to me, and I'll put it up on the bulletin board for you.

See you all soon! Your thinking packets will be waiting for you in the basket.
