Welcome Back!

Dear Parents, Friends, and Kids!
Welcome back to another exciting school year! I can't believe summer has come and gone. Seems like only yesterday I was saying goodbye to my kiddos from last year! I bet you can't believe that you now have 5th graders!

This website is set up to showcase student achievement. Sometimes I display work, art, pictures, videos, collages, projects, or other work. I believe it is important to promote student work and show appreciation for their hard work and talent. In addition to this serving as a way to share student work, I also use this website to post homework assignments, parent notes, and a monthly schedule. 

If you want to subscribe to our feed and be notified every time I post, please scroll to the bottom and enter your email. This means that every time a new post is made you will get an alert. 

I'm looking forward to working with your children and getting to know their unique abilities.

Sincerely, 
Mrs. T


In case you're feeling a little nostalgic, here's some Welcome Back music from the TV show, "Welcome Back, Kotter!"

Goodbye 5th graders, Hello 6th graders!

I can't believe it's been a whole summer! Feels like it went a little bit too fast. That could most be because I miss you guys a bunch and I hope you've been enjoying your time away from school.
If you remember, this summer I went to Italy and to Paris. I HAD A BLAST! I can't wait to upload a few photos of my trip!
I hope that you all have an amazing time in 6th grade! Come by and see me sometime!!
-Mrs. T

Egg Drop Challenge

For the past 2 weeks, we have been studying force, motion, work, energy, and Newton's 3 Laws of Motion. To put Newton's Laws into perspective, we decided to participate in an Egg Drop Challenge.
Students had to create a device that would hold an egg and protect it from being dropped from various heights. Students could only use 4 materials (including tape). The inventions were really phenomenal. Some students used shoe boxes, some tried styrofoam balls, and others tried lots and lots of napkins. We had two winning teams that survived being dropped at 9 feet!!! Congrats to these team! Not only did they get an A+ for their design, but they are also exempt from the final test! Wow!

Hallie, Natane, Dylan, Julian, and Faye. Winners of the Egg Drop Challenge!

Surviving to 8 ft, we have Alex and Misty!
Surviving to 7 ft, we have Mikaylah!
Surviving to 6 ft, we have Shandiin, Emma, and Hannah!

Also surviving to 6 ft, Logan, Christian, and Frederick!
Surviving only a 1 ft. drop, we have Cory & Benson

Only surviving the 1 ft drop before breaking is Thomas, Angel, and Isaac.
