Special Friends and "Wacky" Kids

      

Greetings from Room 10,

          This was our last week of spelling, and our focus was science words.  Next week we will work on Mixtures and Solutions, our final science unit of the year.  Also, we will be joining Ms. Bush’s class on Monday to learn about HIV/Aids.  We have begun to work on our “What Slingerlands Means to Me” essay.  We have completed a planning sheet, we have discussed how to write the opening paragraph, and have written one or more opening paragraphs.

        Don’t forget that June 18^th at 11:00am will be our “What Slingerlands Means to Me” party.  Scrapbooking has been a focus in class this week, and we have completed September through January.  Next week we will tackle the remainder of the school year.

        Wacky Wednesday was wonderful!  At the conclusion of the day we celebrated with Italian Ice.  Here are a few photos of my "wacky" kids!

      On Thursday, Isabella’s grandparents brought us cannolis and cookies.  Yummy!   

           The district upgraded our computers in late May and, as a result, it may no longer be possible to burn DVDs of the iMovie I have made for my class.  Over the last several years, I have enjoyed giving each of my students a DVD as a parting gift and memento of their year in 5B.  I used iMovie to create the class movie and Apple no longer syncs iDVD (the vehicle I have used to burn the iMovie) with iMovie.  Currently, we have our district tech office working tirelessly to come up with a way for us to burn the iMovies.  However, I may need to call on you for help, so starting thinking of ways for me to be able to provide your children with a copy of this treasure!    Have a wonderful weekend, and think of me as I send Shelley off to her Senior Ball this evening!  Thank you for your continued support!  Lester B.
