Coming to an End

 In three weeks I will have to say farewell to these wonderful faces after working with many of them for the past three years. I'm definitely getting pretty sappy about it. They are wonderful students who have grown a tremendous amount over the years. They will all be missed greatly.

 This young lady has enough spunk for a whole room and she always makes me smile.

We will definitely make the most of the next few weeks together.

GORP

 We just finished reading The Adirondack Kids so we decided to make GORP (granola, oats, raisins and peanuts) for our book project. We great big thank you to all parents that helped by providing supplies. We were able to make enough to share with all three sections of 4th grade.

 The kids had a BLAST helping out and bagging all the GORP.

What a great group.

Taking Advantage

 Last Friday we took full advantage of the beautiful weather and we went outside to read in the sun. We are working our way through the book Number the Stars and learning a great deal about World War II.

I only have a few days left with these amazing fifth graders so I am enjoying them while I can.

Best of Luck to all of my hard working students this week as you take the ELA! You have all worked so hard and I'm very PROUD of you.

Congratulations to the Bucket Fillers of the Week.

Thank you for working extra hard, being kind, courteous and respectful students.

Keep filling and no dipping.

Hard Working ELA Prep Kids

 I have been pushing into each of the fourth grade classrooms for the past five weeks and those kids have worked EXTRA hard getting ready for the big test coming up in three weeks. They can take notes for a Listening Section, write a bulleted essay for the Reading Section and they are able to use Tier 2 words in their writing.

As a special THANK YOU to them we made Easter S'Mores with different colored marshmallow Peeps and worked on an Easter story with ELA questions.

 Who ever said Reading was boring? Not with Mrs. Charlton in charge.

 Eating while reading. Such a great combo.

A great big thank you to all of my fourth graders for working so very hard.

We all appreciate your dedication.

I am overly impressed with these students creativity and drive. I gave them basic training on this website and they ran with it. I am so proud of these students.
