Kind of a Rollercoaster Day....

Today had its ups and downs.  This morning was filled with "ups" with listening, discussion, focus, attention and respect! Bravo and woo-hoo to 5B and all of the 5th grade!

The afternoon showed the "downs" side of our day.   Between blurting, goofiness and a struggle with staying on task, it was not 5B's best work of showing what 5th grade expectations are.

I know the weather is nicer, and it's tough to be inside, but your reputation is so strong and positive.  We don't want too many more "oops" to start taking over what 5B has built up all year long!  We've made a super-fun and tasty goal for our Fun Pass Celebration = Pizza Party!  We need to get the details figured out, but it's a TEAM goals we're working towards.  Remember, that it DOES take EFFORT to show Cadet Pride.  If it was easy, then there wouldn't be much pride in it, ya know?!

Speaking of Cadet Pride, there's a big event (first time EVER) coming up that has to do with your Cadet Dollars!  This will be the blog proof tonight.  As you come in on Tuesday morning, whisper to me, "What big event is happening with Cadet Dollars?"  I'll let you in a little secret!

Tomorrow...
1)  iPAD homework - DARE Essay - introduction should be done (more if you want) and the GREEN PARENT NOTE should be returned and SIGNED!  This is a 2nd chance to prove responsibility!  In baseball, a 3rd chance/strike can turn into an OUT!  So, THINK...

2)  PUBERTY Class!  A huge compliment goes out to ALL sections for showing amazing maturity and growth in the seriousness and respect you're showing about the topic.  VERY, VERY impressed to see students be able to handle the topics so well now!  Keep it up!

3)  MAPs TESTING - Math Test!  I scream, You scream, We all scream for ICE CREAM!  We are coming to the end of our MAPs testing!  The more we get going on these tests, the more comfortable 5B becomes!  Just looking for YOUR best!  Don't worry about anyone else's scores!  This is about you, showing what YOU can do!  Let's make our last one, our best one!  (Except Ben... he's got a couple to go!)  Maybe we could enjoy an ice cream party before the end of the week!

Enjoy some outside time again!  Get rested up so we can back on track tomorrow!
