Our first three weeks

We've had a great first three weeks in fifth grade! 

We have participated in lots of team challenges to get to know each other and build our classroom community.

We have really been enjoying Reading Workshop time! We've been reading lots of interesting books and sharing about them with each other. We are all on our way to accomplishing our goal of each reading 40 books this year!

On Fridays, we have Fitness Friday! We get to walk/jog to music for 25 minutes with all the 3rd-5th graders. It's a great time!

Last Monday, we started meeting with our Kindergarten buddies in Mrs. Mandujano's class. We helped them write their letters and then read them books. Everyone had a great time and we can't wait to see our buddies again!
