Our Weeks Are Just Flying By!

We are in OCTOBER, officially now!  At least last week was still September!  It just baffles me how quickly the days, turn into weeks, then to months!  Before you know it, we'll be in December!  Then, we'll blink and spring will lead us to our last days!  Ahh... See, I am like your mama...already worried about how little time we have together before my "babies" grow up and move on!!

Ok.. I'll pull it together now:)

Last Friday was crazy but lots of fun!  It was great celebrating the last day of homecoming with such Cadet Pride from all of 5B (ok, well, Noah was gone...but we are sure he was showing Cadet Pride while salmon fishing!).  Here are are Cadet Spirit Filled Pics!

Ethan... casting his signature pose!

It was really a great day for 5B!  You guys are truly, truly such an amazingly respectful class!  You blow my mind!  So proud of everyone!  

Some MAJOR REMINDERS for this WEEK...

MONDAY

#1: WORLD BLUE OUT DAY!  We talked about this on Friday, saw an inspiring video of Bars and Melody (Click Here to see again), and heard a great discussion from our Socratic Seminar members about how bullying can affect a person's life from Kindergarten age through adult.  It's a serious topic that needs attention and support!  The book, One, shows us that it truly only takes one person to help make us feel strong.  YOU can be that one!  

So, be sure to wear BLUE again on Monday.  Almost our WHOLE DAY will be dedicated to this important cause - BULLY PREVENTION!  We will have our own activities in the morning in 5B's homeroom, and then ALL afternoon we will rotate between ALL 4 5th grade rooms to participate in activities that build our self-confidence and help us stand UP to any bullying we encounter as a victim or bystander!  It will be a special day to remember!  

#2:  Don't forget BAND!!!  Group Band is ALWAYS on Mondays and Thursdays from 8:20 - 9:00.  I'll send home a note on Monday:)

WEDNESDAY

Another 3-hour early out!  

SOMETIME THIS WEEK....

We will finish up with our MISIC tests for Reading and Language.  I'm not sure of the dates, but I'll let you know for sure when I find out!  

So.... Yep...Busy as usual!  

I'll know you checked the blog if you go to THIS LINK (click on it) and share why YOU think Standing Up Against Bullying is such an important part of YOUR life...  It's is a TodaysMeet link.  You'll need to put in your FIRST NAME ONLY, then join the chat.  Write your thoughts there.  That's how I'll know you checked the blog!  

Have a great Sunday!  See you soon!  Don't forget to wear BLUE!!!!  (and your band instruments!)
