We had a big variety of jobs that were chosen. Although we had quite a few computer programers. Any way you put it, it was awesome.

6th Graders on ABC Channel 4

guess what... terrible guess, Zach, Bridger,Mina, and some of there relatives were on the news channel 4 at like 4 in the morning can you believe they woke up that early. When they told me I thought they were kidding but then Mrs.Mcshinsky showed us that video and I was proven wrong. Bridger said that there was another video I don't know what it was about but he was exited about it so maybe we should look it up. Or you could just ask him he is in your class you know you could also ask mina Zach or maybe some of bridgers siblings.

5th Grade taking the DWA

Wow! I just am amazing as I walk around the room right now...there is not one student who is hunting and pecking as they type. Their fingers are placed correctly on the keyboard...and they are typing. Their scratch paper is filled with ideas and webs. I am so proud of them. They have already worked for half an hour on just their paper...and now their fingers are flying. I just love how hard working, wonderful students they are! You rock 5th grade!
