Science Fair ... 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners~
After everyone presented their science fair projects, we took them into the gym and set them up with all the other projects from other 4th and 5th graders. The next day, we were able to go back into the gym to see all of them.
Room 5ers were asking questions about NEXT year's Science Fair project...even asking me if they could start it now~ Yes!
Ms.C was in the gym, having just taken her kindergartners tothe bus. Since she's been a judge for years, Room 5ers had questions for her on how they could improve their project.

The Science Fair...it was wonderful to see them so excited about their projects..their GREAT projects!

Spelling Bee

Tomorrow is our school spelling bee! For Room 5, Stephanie and Meigan are our representatives...our classroom champions! For the past weeks, whenever we work on spelling in class, Stephanie and Meigan have been able to go out in the hall and drill each other on their words.

Good luck to both girls!!!

Valentine's Day!

The bags were all hung on the white board with care...
In hopes that cupid would soon be there...

Room 5ers each made a Valentine's bag a while back...and we hung them on the tray of the white board...some have been bringing their Valentines in during the week, but many brought them in today...
It wasn't twins day...but Tamia Ruth and Haley looked like twins to us!
The morning was the time to fill those bags...
Jade, Jennifer, Haley

We spent the entire morning listening to science fair project presentations, and then after lunch...it was time for our Valentine's party...

Room 5 was excited...

Some of our parents brought in some delicious treats...that came first. While everyone was eating, I passed out their bags. How fun it was to look through and read them all...and eat a bit of candy too!

Meigan...who told me she had had enough pictures...
What a friend! After Meigan said "no more" pictures, her buddy, Mackenzie covered her eyes while I continued to snap away!

Thank you, Mackenzie!

Happy Valentines to Room 5~
