Back to School Night
Last night was Back to School Night for my school. Of course this time is designed to make sure our parents are "in the know" about what happens in the fifth grade. We do a PowerPoint and go over the EXTREMELY condensed version of the curriculum, upcoming field trips, what's expected of them, etc. Blah, blah, blah. This is also a great time for our kids to showcase their work. I always make sure that the hallway is decked out and there is something on their desks that they are proud of to share with their parents. Here are a couple of projects we show off:
Shades of summer: In Writer's Workshop the kids write at least two paragraphs about what they did this summer. They publish their work and then make these awesome faces to go along with the writing. They draw pictures representing the writing in the shades. Quite funny!
Mrs. Hager's Fifth Graders Are Starting Off on the Right Foot: The right foot is traced and then they draw their foot just like they see it. The kids do a nametag glyph to go under each of their right feet.
Bio Poems and Silouettes: The students create their Bio Poems and then make thier own silouettes. We did this activity when I was younger. This is when I realized that I had no chin from the profile view! lolPaper Class: My favorite part of Back to School Night is the fake class. You let the kids trace each other onto bulletin board paper (or you trace them yourself), then you let them design themselves. When finished you tape them up in their seats so that when the parents walk in they see a class full of fake kids. It cracks me up every year!! The parents love it, but even more...the kids love it. Here are a couple of my faves from the 5th grade:

Do you use anything special to keep the fake students from flopping over?
ReplyDeleteI just roll up a piece of construction paper and tape the top part to the back of the student and part to the back of the chair. :)

In fact, I've had many 3 mini workout session times. I'll start with a 10 minute stretching routine in the morning. Do an intense 10 minute weight lifting Herbal Alchemist Cbd Cannabidiol Oil Pills superset routine at supper. I'll end the day with ten mins of HIIT outside my home or on my treadmill. Bang, that's half an of fitness covering all of the bases. The great thing is it hardly appears like I worked out in the time-sense. Furthermore, it results in highly focused and intense sessions.
