5th grade knows about TEAMWORK!

Our school has been motivating student involvement with homeroom prizes.  I love both my 5th grade classes, however I am only 5A's homeroom teacher and help them with contests.  Our school recently raised over 3,000 canned foods for local needy families.  5A students participated and encouraged eachother to help.  They were able to collect 400 canned items and place 3rd in the entire school!  The prize is an ice cream party, which we will have the Tuesday after we get back from Thanksgiving break.

During Anti-bullying week, the school also started a homeroom door decorating contest.  5A students worked hard together and were able to win FIRST PLACE in the entire school!  The prize this time is a doughnut party.  5B students deserve credit for their fantastic door as well.  Dedicated students stayed after school working together and came up with a great design.

Both classes did great and I am so proud to teach 5th grade!
