MARVELOUS MONDAY!!!

Wowsa!  The word that comes to mind when I saw 5B's line back from P.E, to lunch and back from lunch is.....

YeeHAW, baby!  Now that's what I KNEW 5B was capable of!!!  I'll expect that each and every time now..... If not... then we can always use recess to practice?!?  But we won't need that, now, will we?!

(Ok, so our line isn't quite like this....because most of YOU are as tall as or even TALLER than me, but you get the idea and the compliment, right?!)

Today's first day of switching classes with our new groups seemed to go FANTASTICALLY!

I met with the Fantastic Fives!  

I met with the Dream Team!

and lastly.....

I met with the Wonderful Wackos!  

Fun was had by all!  

Please be sure to tell your families how it went for you, what order your classes were in, whether you were with me for reading or with Mrs, Knobloch!  I'll send a note home at the end of the week as a reminder about our new groups for switching!

I'll know you checked the blog if you take a guess at the answer to THIS QUESTION!  WRITE DOWN YOUR ANSWER on a piece of paper/post-it note/scratch paper/or whatever.  Show me your paper with the answer on it when you come in on Tuesday morning!  

Here's the question....   What color is Isaiah's NEW cast?  We went to the doctor after school today to get X-rays and a new cast!  Which color did he choose?

Blue

Green

Pink

Orange

Purple

I'll show everyone a picture of him Tuesday morning as MY PROOF:)  

Have a super Monday night, and keep up the FANTASTIC Cadet Pride!  

Buh-Bye!

Are You Ready for More?

Hey, my darling 5B Angels (ding.... ahhhhh),
I Hope you had awesome weekends and got some rest!  I was POOPED on Friday night!  I actually fell asleep in Isaiah's bed after I was reading him stories!  I woke up in the middle of the night COMPLETELY confused, and then I realized where I was and crawled into my own bed!  What a great but EXHAUSTING first week of school!

I hope the boys' football teams had a fun first jamboree!  I don't know if girls had any dance or volleyball or if any of you were out biking, playing at parks or anything.  If so, I'm glad you got to get out and do something fun this weekend!

Last week was definitely a SUPER example of showing what Cadet Pride CAN look like and sound like.  We also should a few examples of what it maybe SHOULDN'T look and sound like.  But hey, we are trying, right!?  Mistakes are simply proof they we are trying!  And I can tell by the past 5 days that we have some funny, polite, smart, energetic, caring, helpful, spunky, serious and AWESOME kiddos in our 5B Family!  I'm making it official to the world.....   See below!!!  Yep, I'm publicly sharing my affection towards our family!!  Thanks for making our first week full of laughs!

Now... what's in store for the 2nd week of school, you may ask?  Well... I'll tell you!  We will start our mixed up 5A, 5B and 5C groupings tomorrow for the first time.  Remember, I'll go over all of this with you in the morning and give you your OWN personal schedule to follow so you feel comfortable and know where you're going, ok?  No STRESS!  Don't Worry!  As Timon and Pumba say from The Lion King........

Here are a few reminders for Monday...

1)  You have P.E. - remember the best kind of shoes!

2) You had math homework to find examples of math in your world/life.  Bring that in.

3) Get some rest.... It'll be a busy, busy day of switching with new classmates!

For your blog proof.... Hmmmm... what shall I have you do???  Let's see..  Oh, yes, I know.  I'll know you checked the blog if you have ALL of your subjects out for your morning classes (folders and notebooks for Math, Science AND Writing, including your iPAD and planner) at your homes RIGHT as you come in.  Have a great night!  See you soon!!

Back At It!

Wow, 5B did a PHENOMENAL job today with respect in the classroom and during some individual work time!  They even earned themselves a....

You Go, 5B!!  Yeehaw!!

It is my privilege to announce the name of our newest member of the class...  

Meet....FIRE FISH!

It was a VERY close vote!  13 for Billlllll...and 15 for Fire Fish!  Maybe his middle name could be Billlllll?  Isaiah will be THRILLED that the name he suggested won the vote!  

I'd say our 5B Family is showing some PERFECTION in areas throughout our first week!  Yeah, baby!!!  We could be models for other classes!  

However..... our line for going from one place to another is.....  um....   well.....  um.... 

Why...?   Why...?   Why...?

We DEFINITELY need to get that one figured out... Let's get our heads together and see how we can figure this out... Maybe I can bring a special treat or we can do something special Friday afternoon if we can show how awesome we are OUT of the classroom, right!?  I know I see it IN the classroom!  

I'll know you checked the blog tonight if you come in the room, "pop" your balloon for attendance and go STRAIGHT to working on your Guess Who page we started today (remember the one I want to see your 100% best effort?)!  You don't need to tell me ANYTHING... just go straight to it and I'll know you checked the blog:)  

Miss you....

From Your 5B Mama :)

Whoa... Wednesday!

Hey, there my little 5B Angels (ding...ahhhhh)!
Yes, I titled this blog post Whoa Wednesday because, well, you know, it was a bit chattier today and a teeny bit forgetful of our T.H.I.N.K. poster.  Oops...  Here's a small version of what T.H.I.N.K. stands for so you can review and even tell your parents about it:)

The two that seemed to be tough to remember today were the H (helpful) and N (necessary).  Let's see if we can get those figured out again!  Our first 2 days were da BOMB!

Be sure to share with your families the red letter that showed pictures of all of your 5th grade teachers and what their jobs are.  This will help understand our switching a bit.  Also, you had your first day of ART!  Maybe share with your family how that went!

My favorite part of the day today was in reading class!  I LOVED watching so many determined students trying to READ 2 sentences.  I have pictures of some GREAT STRATEGIES you tried, but my phone was acting goofy, and I couldn't get them emailed to get on the post.  Sorry!  They were great though!  And... hmmm.. you know the answer to our Reading Test today, don't you?  Maybe have your parents ask YOU "What is reading?"  Give them the answer that will knock them on their tooshes!

A HUGE compliment I need to give out is to ALL of you blog checkers from last night!  I can't believe how many of you took the effort to check it! Let's see if we have that many tonight! 

Here's your blog proof for tonight.... I'll know you checked the blog IF you come in to tell me that our fish's new name is a TIE between Billlllllll  and Firefish!  Those were the 2 highest votes, actually in a tie! So, Thursday morning we will have to REVOTE to decide his name:)  Remember, keep this blog proof to yourself!  Whisper to me "It's a tie" as you come in just like you did this morning!

I know it's a long week, getting back into routines, so we'll keep reminding each other about Cadet Pride and what it looks like and sounds like!  

Sponge Bob says, "You can do this!"   

FIRST Blog of the 2015-2016 School Year!

Hey, there, 5B!
It's been a fantastic 2 days with you!  I know by our afternoon today, some of you were getting VERY tired!  It takes a lot of effort and energy to be as PERFECT as I saw today!  Right?!

I want to compliment everyone on excellent examples of Cadet Pride today!  Based on your Kahoot game today, our 5B seems to know how to show Cadet Pride in many different situations.  Let's keep it going!  I'm so proud of our 5B Family!

The last 2 days have been a lot of fun for me, too!  Look at the pictures below and tell your families about the activities we did!

First Day!  We are all a little "puzzled" at times.  We need to
ask others for help!  

Bubbles are important for school!  Why?
They teach us to T.H.I.N.K.  

We released some pent up wiggles by blowing our
bubbles!  We earned the free time with some amazing
self-control while  Mrs. Sorenson blew bubbles at us!

Bring on the Selfie Stick!
First official picture of our 5B Family!

Our afternoon allowed us to play a game using Pic Collage
getting together with the other 2 classes!  VERY interested
participants!

There are MANY other memorable moments like...

Learning about the 5B Blog and playing some cool games!

Reading our first book, Swear to Howdy (REALLY FUNNY)!

Getting our planners and schedules!

Meeting Fee-Fee (And 1, And 2, And 1, And 2)

As I told you in class, it helps and is a bonus to check our 5B Blog each night to see if I posted anything new!  I will know if you checked the blog this first time IF you come in the room on Wednesday morning and WHISPER in my ear these silly words:  Pickle Juice  Be sure NOT to tell anyone else.  If you took time to check the blog, then YOU should get the reward, right?!  I've really enjoyed our first 2 days!  Let's make the rest of the week JUST as AWESOME!

Peace out!
