Mrs. Yadon, a Wild Adventure, and Student Appreciation Day

~Happy Birthday to Mrs. Yadon, another awesome fifth grade teacher!Spirit Week

~100% of the students eligible in Room 71 have paid for their Wild Adventures trip! 100% seems to be popular this week. We had almost 100% dress for Sports Day (yes we won!) We also had 100% dress for Backwards Day, and for Stuffed Animal Day but we decided as a class, in the spirit of SPORTSMANSHIP, not to submit our class to give other classes a chance to feel like winners too. The Apes rock! Oh, by the way, 100% of the Apes in both classes reached their third nine week reading goals. It looks like most will reach their goal of 50 by the end of the year!

Ape Appreciation Day

~Even though we said there would be no End of Month Luncheon for March due to FCAT and Spring Break, we decided instead to celebrate Ape Appreciation Day! We mad our own foot long subs with ham, bologna, and turkey. We bought way too much meat! Your kids probably did not eat supper on Thursday....sorry! Thanks for all the meat Mrs. peck, and the drinks Mrs. Whitelaw! We love the Apes!

Striped Pajamas

~We are really moving along fast in The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. Bruno is really getting bored and in need of something to occupy his mind and time. He loves to explore. Where do you think he will go. We also learned that Pavel is a Jew. Will Mother decide to leave once she figures out what is really going on at Out-With?

~We will be posting our Responses to Literature as soon as we come back from break...look for them on the board!

~I will post pictures around 10:00 on Friday! I left my USB cable at school! Oops.
