First Six Weeks of Room 40!

Reminders that CBAs are given this week and this is the last week of the six weeks!  Report cards will go out NEXT week!  Our PTA program is on October 9th.  Money for the opera is due by October 9th, but the actual trip is in November.

Room 40 learns with Activexpressions!

We earned a popcorn reward party!

Get to know your teacher...

 

Opposites Attract- exploring magnetism.

 There is so much learning happening in room 40.  We love to work in groups, hands-on, with technology and out of our seats.  We also enjoy reading the book of our choice alone in a quiet room.  More pics will be coming later about all the great things we do in fifth grade!
