Welcome to 5th Grade

Clearly, I am a little overdue with this update. It is 8 weeks into 5th grade already! How quickly time flies.

So far, the year has been full of learning and fun! My students are slowly understanding how different 5th grade is from 4th grade. Here are a few of the events that have taken place:

The Fall Fundraising is almost coming to an end. The order forms are due on Wednesday, Oct 21st.

We had our first Meet the Master Assembly today about Pablo Picasso. Next Tuesday we will be doing the art lesson that goes along with the assembly. We have also been using the new district art program called Arts Attack. The students have really been enjoying doing the various art projects.

This Saturday is the PTA Harvest Carnival. We have two booths this year. Please come and support our booths.. we need volunteers to help sell! Also, the money raised this year will help pay for the 6th grade expenses.


We are about to have our first Market Day in a few weeks (though I will not announce the date yet). Start thinking of your amazing ideas of what to make and sell! Can't wait to see the creativity in the room!

Our next rewards assembly is on October 30th!! Please come dressed in your Halloween costume!! Can you try to guess what I will be?????

OK... I have given you a bit of an update on all the happenings at Valley View and our classroom! More to come.....
