Welcome Future Scholars

Welcome to the 2014-15 school year!
I'm glad you've found our classroom blog. :} Please bookmark this site on your computer because it will be full of important upcoming events during the school year and homework assignments. 5th Grade is a fun place to be, with lots of new skills to learn, new friends to meet, and exciting adventures to experience. Our year will start off by establishing our classroom rules and expectations, getting ORGANIZED, and setting up our journals. You will be excited to hear that 5th graders rotate to different teachers for Math, Science, Language Arts, and Social Studies. This will begin on Tuesday, September 2. You will stay with me for Science and then rotate subjects: to Miss Smith's class for Writing/Language Arts, to Miss Enrico for Math, and to Mrs.Grove for Social Studies. We will be creating flex groups for Reading in the next few weeks. I'm looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you. :)

Pennies for Patients'

I'm happy to announce our very own Country Lane Cornerstone students will be hosting Pennies for Patients' in March. Pennies for Patients is a service learning and character education program that gives students a unique experience making a difference through teamwork to aid thousands of children and adults in the fight against blood cancers like leukemia. It's a win win situation. The kids will learn what "doing good" for others can mean and feel a great sense of pride in helping others. Over the next 3 weeks starting in March, students will be collecting spare change and depositing that change in bins located in each classroom and in the library. The change will be counted daily. At the end of our 3 weeks we will turn over our donation to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Yay!!
