"I Have A Dream..."


These paper doll cut-outs are great examples of how we can live our lives in a way that shows we care about anyone, no matter the color of their skin, hair, eyes, height, weight, interests or anything else!  Those of you who chose this activity today gave us super samples to look at!  Thanks!  I'll have the activities for the rest of the week in reading class, so you are welcome to visit the sites, watch the videos or take on the History Mystery Games Wed. or Thurs. this week.

Today's FAST testing was AMAZING!  Ok, it was ridiculously LONG, but the effort and scores that came from today's testing was the AMAZING part!  So many of you showed growth of more than a FULL YEAR!  Wowsa!!!  I'm REALLY proud of all of you!

Report Cards also should have gotten to parents today, so be doing your "Mind Blowing" or "Just EXACTLY what a 5th Grader Should Be Doing" or "Well, I sometimes show this, but sometimes I don't" and/or "I'm really having a tough time with this.  I need more help or I need to try harder" comments to your families!  Be sure to have the report card envelopes signed and returned with NO REPORT CARDS in them!  

Indoor recess also seemed to go well with controlled voices and great socializing!  I'm kinda like the "No iPads" for indoor recess once in awhile!  Hanging with friends is a super way to spend recess!

We have ART tomorrow, so be sure to bring your object that can be pressed into clay.  That has been reminded to us since LAST Wednesday.  Also, we have GUIDANCE class with Mrs. Halverson.  It will be her last class with you before Mrs. McCabe returns!  

Finally, blog proof!  Today was really a pretty spectacular day for control, respect and Cadet Pride! Bravo, Baby Cakes!  Tomorrow will be the same or better, HOPEFULLY!  Here's your proof!  Read the words below, and whisper them into my ear as you come in Wednesday morning.  Be sure you say the exact NUMBER of them as shown below. Notice how many times you need to say it!  

Oh, also... do some hand exercises tonight to prepare for 
WRITING BOOT CAMP! (some of you.....)     :)  and  :(
