The First Full Week of School

BZ was inspired by our Round-Up field trip and decided to make a western scene at home. She did an awesome job and brought it in to share with the class.

Each week 1 student is chosen to be the Star of the Week. They get to decorate a poster, bring it in to share with the class and eat lunch with the teacher on Thursday. AT was our first Star of the Week and she did an awesome job on her poster!

This was our first week of spelling. Our tests are on Fridays and we practice here at school a little bit each day. One of the ways we practice is to partner spell with the chalkboards. Here HS and SW are quizzing each other.

BZ and KC are working on getting all their words right!

On Friday we had our Welcome Back To School Assembly. It was a lot of fun. Mrs. Roberts and the 5th grade leadership team danced and sang to us at the beginning while everyone came in and sat down.

Mr. May explained to everyone how Tuesday morning book club works and that it will be in the library this year instead of the gym. Yeah!

Mrs. Roberts explained to everyone that we were going to be "cooking up a good year together" and so she had some staff and students add ingredients to the cauldron. Volunteers shared what they thought would be good ideas needed for a good school year. Some ideas were character traits like honesty and good citizenship while other ideas were having fun and being nice.
When the ingredients were added the cauldron would smoke and everyone was amazed at what great cooks we have here at Sherwood!
