As we get closer to
the end of our journey in fifth grade I began to reflect on our year. I
happened to come across the photo above that made me laugh because it is
exactly how I feel. Even today, with a few days left I still feel this
way. We have to complete our Rube Goldberg Machines and just started our Revolution Musical. Students have
worked so hard on their STEAM lessons this year. Their inventions that arrived
are so impressive! Some should patent them. It is amazing what their inventive
minds created! I cannot wait to share the finished product with you all! The
skills students gained during these activities will resonate with them long
after they leave me. They worked in collaborative teams, discovered design
process thinking, and presented work to an authentic audience. Our students
should be so PROUD of their work as these learning experiences will certainly
help others! I want to thank them from the bottom of my heart for giving me
their best self each and ever day. I could not have had all those tabs open
without them!
As I get ready to
close those tabs we will be packing down our classroom, celebrating our
success, and giving our final presentations of the year. Please reflect on the
student who walked into our room in September. I promised you all it would be a
completely different kid by the time he or she walked out. I hope you all agree
that is the case. Our students have grown so much this year and I was thrilled
to be part of that!
