A little bit about me....
I have been teaching at St. Augustine since 2004. This is my third year in 5th grade. I obtained my BS in Technology and Applied Sciences from Northern Michigan University. After doing design work for General Motors, I realized I didn't want to sit behind a computer all day. I decided to go back to school and get my Masters in Education from Saginaw Valley State University.
I am an avid reader (love a good mystery), jigsaw puzzle person, and enjoy cooking, traveling, and bike rides. Baxter, who is pictured above, is my fur baby.
Monday: Art,
Tuesday: Gym, Technology
Wednesday: Spanish
Thursday: Library
Friday: Music, Spanish
TESTS
Religion - Chapter 2 October 29th
Social Studies - October 27th
NOTES
Starting Monday, September 14th, students will be marked down for improper heading. I have been stating how the heading should appear. It is also on the board in class (and has been up since the second day of school).
Now that we are in October, students will receive no credit for answers not in complete sentences (unless stated otherwise.) Not using complete sentences also prevents a student from making corrections as it shows lack of effort and not following directions.
Starting next week I will be available after school from 3:15-4:00 for students who would like extra help. I must know the day before if a student is planning to stay.
Today I can:
English: spell singular and plural nouns correctly, use plural nouns correctly
Math: solve division problems without a remainder
Reading: read for fluency, compare two stores on the same topic

Religion - review sheet
Social Studies - review sheet
Have both review sheets finished and in class on Monday! There are Kahoot links for Social Studies and Unit 1-3 Synonym/Antonym in the Google classroom.
If a family is in need of service credit hours and would like a project that can be completed at home, I am looking for someone who can cut out turkeys. Project would need to be completed by October 30th. Send me an email if interested. First come; first served.
We have been working with order of operations in class. I have included a sheet for reference to show how students should be setting up and solving multi-step problems. Many students do not want to show their work and are getting incorrect answers.
