Penguins during practice!

A fabulous fifth grade performance!

The fifth grade students were amazing in this year's Christmas program. It was obvious all the hard work and practice paid off when the fifth grade penguins sang, danced, and played their recorders! I was amazed to see all of my students who are in the drama club act in the play so well! It was a great way to celebrate the Christmas season! It was a beautiful performance this year! Well done!

January Times

Wow! The fifth grade year is flying by! My class has returned very rested for break and is getting back into their daily routine. We are currently working on writing an opinion paper where the students must decide if they would rather live with Native Americans or explorers in early times. We are also preparing to make cards for the home bound. Stay tuned for pictures from our upcoming pictures from our Trade Fair Day in February!

Coney!

Time for school! Every morning Coney loves to lay on my

 SPS fleece while I get ready for work.
