Valentine's Day Recycled Bag Contest!

Each year fifth grade students have the option of collecting their valentine's in a revamped plastic bag! Students get very creative on how to change an already existing bag into a recycled piece of art. I love seeing what they come up with each year.

 This plastic bag card holder was similiar to a kangaroo! The cards were placed in the front pouch!

                                                                Say "Cheeeeese" fifth graders!

                                                                       Kickball Game

Fifth graders had a blast celebrating Catholic School's Week! My class loved playing kickball with the other classes and did a beautiful job working together as a team. We also enjoyed donating used books and canned goods to help others. The whole week was a great reflection on why we love Catholic education!

Catholic School's Week

The fifth graders and I are very excited about this year's Catholic School's Week. All we long we are celebrating how wonderful it is to attend a Catholic School. Our service projects include a used book drive, a canned food job, and making cards for those we care about! We are also dressing up in wacky ways! We are so lucky to go to SPS!

 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!
