So Long, 5th Grade!
Posted by Jennifer Ewing on May 24, 2008
5th grade is nearly over! This school year felt incredibly quick to me. Well, okay, those two weeks before TCAPs were kind of slow, but the rest flew by in a busy blur! You’ll soon be on to 6th grade, and Mrs. Ewing will only be a distant memory. Don’t worry about 6th grade. I am very confident that you’ll be completely successful. I will be here if you need me. Just remember to be organized and disciplined.
You all have been a wonderful class, and I will never forget you. You have been a pioneer class!
- My first blogging class
- My first class to use a wiki
- My first class to incorporate technology into Science Fair projects
- My first class to have Webkinz!
- My first class to do a video news feature! (That was pretty cool, wasn’t it?)
You all paved the way! Be proud! I sure am! We have two more days left, and remember that I have resolved that I WILL NOT CRY THIS YEAR!!!! No! No! No! I’m going to be a brave soldier!!!!
Okay….on to the news of the week!
Tuesday:
It’s Webkinz day! You get to bring your Webkinz or other small stuffed animal. It’s not just a day..it’s a Webkinz Convention. When you get to school, you’ll have to register your Webkinz and get his/her name badge. (Well, now all the parents know I’m a loser…lol) Anyway…some of the things I’m thinking of doing is of course game time on Webkinz, Create-A-New-Webkinz, Picture Spot with your Webkinz…any other ideas?
Also, Tuesday….you absolutely need to finish your blog posts. You have several you need to do.
Also…Tuesday…I want to film your presentations! (I know what you’re thinking, “She must be crazy!”)
Wednesday…Last field trip! Wear comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and don’t forget your clothes still have to be within dress code.
Oh, and by the way, the best thing I overheard last week:
Student A: Hey, you can’t write like that! This isn’t texting!
Mrs. Ewing: What’s going on?
Student A: She’s using the letter “R” instead of “are”!
And then Mrs. Ewing smiled.
