It's Time!

Even though it is only July 3rd I hear my classroom calling! It always gives me a thrill to start the new year with a clean room, some orgainization and some bright smiling faces ready to start fifth grade! Afterall, this is your LAST year at BES! If I knew who you were, I would call you up and say, "Come HELP!" This is what our classroom looks like now!

 

Time to put some binders on that bookshelf, get those desks arranged for some great  math, and definitely, clean off that back counter! Time to get at it! Can't wait to meet my new students!



A New Year!

Today is Wednesday, July 17, 2013 and I am already trying to get things ready for the new school year! I didn't do such a great job keeping up with my blog last year, but I am going to try and do a better job this year!

I am excited about some changes for next year! I will be on a three man team and teaching only MATH! Although I had a great time with science last year I love math! I am also excited about the possibilities of some technology changes....can't let you know what that is yet as it is still in the planning stages, but I am keeping my fingers crossed!

So I am going to sign off for now and maybe post some pictures tomorrow so you can see the progress in our room. Can't wait to meet all my new students and start another year. This year we are "Building Elite Scholars" so get your construction tools ready! It's going to be a GREAT year!

Static Electricity

We've been having fun again in science class and this time with static electricity. Do you know you can make a can roll with a balloon...without touching the balloon to the can! Just ask your students all about it and they can tell you about positive and negative charges attracting and repelling and how you can create static electricity.  This week we will be making simple series circuits,  parrallel circuits, and simple electromagnets! We are lovin this science!

YEP! We have some static electricity!!!

Ready for some soda can races!!!

And before you think this is a minature fifth grader, let me introduce you to Katelyn, my granddaughter, who was bummed because her friends twined with other people so she twined with grandma and "Aunt Terry!"
