Spring!

April27

Teachers and students are getting restless.   Testing is nearly over. The sun is shining.  Trees are beginning to sprout leaves.  Lawn mowers are gassed up and put to use. Mushrooms are being hunted.  Baseball bats are swinging.  The temperature, both outside and in the building, is on the rise.  And flowers are in bloom.   Yeah!  [...]

A Tough Week

April24

The students took the Science Achievement Test this morning.  Once again, they worked very hard.  Only one more test to go-Social Studies on Tuesday.  To give the students a break from working hard today, they had the chance to play with cards in Math class today.  They played Addition War.  A fun way to get [...]

Testing Week

April23

What a week this has been so far!  The fifth graders worked extremely hard on their tests on both Monday and Wednesday.  Even after our little delay yesterday (the electricity went off throughout our building JUST as we were beginning to start the Math test-and stayed off for about a half an hour) the students [...]

April Showers

April14

I hope all of you enjoyed your long weekend.  I was very thankful that the weather turned out to be so nice on Saturday and Sunday.  Yesterday and today, however, I kept  thinking of the old saying “April showers bring May flowers”.  We should have a lot of May flowers if the amount of rain [...]

This Week

April3

This week we have been working on the last strand that we have to cover before the Achievement test: Patterns, Functions and Algebra.  As we have learned about patterns and functions, the students have done a lot of group work and work on the computer.  They have also been allowed to use the calculators on [...]

Welcome to my blog!  I teach 7th grade Language Arts at McDowell Exchange School in the Logan Elm School district. I previously taught 5th grade at Laurelville Elementary (in the same district)-math for the last three years and language arts prior to that.

My hope is that this blog serves as a sort of newsletter for our class, keeping parents and students informed of class news and assignments for our Language Arts Class.  I also intend for it to be a place where students can share their writing and their thoughts on books that they are reading.

In March 2009, my blog was showcased by Sue Walters on The Edublogger site.  As a result, this blog has had visitors from all around the world.  It has been so exciting to see new dots appear on my clustr map! (see the clustr map below as of 9/24/09)  Thanks again, Sue!

Thanks for checking in. I would love to hear from you, so feel free to leave a comment and please visit again!
