I Love My Fifth Graders!

Dear Parents of Room 10,
      I wore a shirt today that read, "I love my fifth graders," and it couldn't be more true!  I marvel every day by how wonderful they truly are.  It is rare that all the stars align like they have this year, and I cherish every single day.  They are amazing.
      Next Friday is our Halloween party.  It will begin at 2:00pm.  In addition to having "treats," the children will play Halloween Bingo!  You are welcome to join us for the festivities.

       Enjoy the Monster Mash this evening!  Hope to see you next Friday!  Lester Betor & class

Meet the Musician - Beethoven

Dear Parents of Room 10,
      Today we had a special presentation called, "Meet the Musician," which focused on the life of Ludwig Van Beethoven.  This one-man show used the music of Beethoven and other great composers such as Hayden, Bach and Mozart to present the biography of Beethoven.  I took some pictures of both the artist and his audience.  Have a wonderful weekend!  Lester Betor & class

Final Crayfish Pictures

Greetings from Room 10,
      I am including photos that I took on Thursday of the children in their crayfish groups.  They have thoroughly enjoyed working with their crayfish pals.  I believe that have learned a great deal about these interesting little creatures.  Learning how to tell the difference between a boy and girl crayfish proved to be a fun lesson.  Here is the outcome:

      Following are the crayfish groups and their little friends.  Unfortunately, our classmate, Connor was not feeling well and not in school the day I took the photos.  We were thinking about you, Connor, and Flipper says "Hello!"
