My Project

It's that time of year again! First days of school! It's too early to tell who these little humans are or what they will be, but I want to get them started off on the right foot providing them with things they will need to have a successful fifth grade year.

We got the new school year party started last week!

Many items from last year's project are still in good shape, but you know kids, nothing lasts forever. We are in need of snacks, dry erase markers, and kleenex to get through our days.

This year I will have my class all day! We will be creating goals for academics and behavior. When the students meet those goals, they need prizes! It's always a good idea to have a variety of options because no child is like another. I'm looking forward to having my class all day this year. We are going to grow into one big happy family!
