Info for Classes
Second and third graders will continue their career lesson. They will take a multiple intelligence quiz to determine their learning style. This whole unit focuses on them discovering themselves. I want them to understand there is so much to determining a career choice.
Fourth and fifth grade students will learn about the different career clusters. They will take a quiz to see what cluster they fall into. We will then play some career jeopardy to learn more about those careers.
Student of the Month
Be sure to select your student for February's Student of the Month.
February will focus on tolerance. Tolerance is getting along with those who are different. A tolerant person is open and respects differences that exist among people. He/she realizes there is more than one way to do a task. They are sensitive to the feelings of others and no not participate in ethnic jokes. A tolerant person is willing to learn about the culture of others and keeps his/her own values. Please us this character trait in any Black History Month lessons you do!

Staff Spotlight: Casey Cotton
When I first watched Mrs. Cotton teach, I assumed she had taught it her whole life. She slipped into her position with such ease, passion, and knowledge. She definitely rose to the challenge of teaching fifth grade... which is a little different from third grade. I haven't heard her complain once. She instead talks about all the things she loves about her position. I love seeing her face light up over the love notes of children who adore her teaching style. My favorite is when students come to me and say, "I finally understand reading... I finally love it." She helps them find that love. I am very proud of what she has done in fifth grade. Although I'm sure she rocked third grade, she is a wonderful fit for the fifth grade department.
