We had a terrific assembly this morning to learn about the Bronco Pride expectations in all of the common areas of our building.  The kids went from area to area to learn about the rules.  When they completed the Bronco Pride Academy, they got a treat.

The kids took a spelling pretest today.  The students who got an A+ or missed one will not have to do the take home assignments this week in spelling.  They will also not have to retake the test on Friday.

WELCOME TO 5TH GRADE!!

We had a CRAZY-busy first day!  The kids met with all three of their fifth grade teachers.  We ate a sack lunch in the classrooms, and then headed out for community service.  I bet they are worn out. Well, I am anyway!

Mrs. Kinseth and I walked with my homeroom to City Park.  We pulled weeds, raked leaves, and picked up trash.  I learned that a lot of fifth graders don't know what weeds look like.

2 of the sections of fifth graders got a small homework assignment today.  I gave them a contact information sheet for their parents to fill out.  The other section of kids will be getting it tomorrow.
