We survived our first week of 5th grade. This is going to be a fun group and I don't think there will be any trouble in keeping each other laughing. I used to use this blogspot for my students to report on each day as to what was done in the class for that day, BUT....it became a restricted site at school and we could no longer access it from school. If it becomes available, I will continue to let the kids do their own blogging about our days.
The first week was much about rules, procedures, putting binders together, learning how to take notes, etc. We did get to complete our first science lab on properties of matter. The kids learned the difference between weight, mass, and volume. They also learned some similarities and differences between different properties of matter.
I'm loving your blog. This is my first year teaching. I go back to school next week and students return the following week. I'm trying to put my rules, procedures, beginning of the year stuff together. Any advice?
