First Week : What I Love about 5th Grade

Although, I might have needed a few more days prior to the arrival of students to complete some special education paperwork and meetings, this year is off to a Fantastic start!

First of all, I must brag and say that "I have the best group of students EVER!!!" These fifth graders are so eager to learn!

I truly believe that teaching 5th grade is really my passion.   With that said, here are the Top 5 Reasons I love 5th Grade:

Top 5 Reasons I Love 5th Grade

1.  The students are capable enough to mange things alone (i.e. blowing noses, using the restroom..lol)
2. Students get my quirky jokes and sarcasm.. (I don't care what you call me-Just not late for Lunch!)  I recently got married and the students keep using my previous last name- Plus 'Bartschi' is a bit tricky for students with speech difficulties and it has been proven difficult for many adults also. Like I said Don't call me late for lunch or recess!
3. Students are dreamers and problem solvers.
4. Students are still excited about new ideas.
5. They are great at having conversations.

Bonus #6  The 5th Grade Teaching Team ROCKS!

HAPPY BACK TO SCHOOL!!  

Wishing you a year of great progress and success!
