My favorite thing about teaching fifth grade is how much fun the students are! 5th graders are independent, open minded thinkers who want to learn and participate in fun activities and projects.
There are so many memories I could list, but a particularly fun one was when we read a nonfiction article about simple machines and how they function in catapults and then "stormed" the teacher next door, launching ping pong balls at her.
