MLK Day

Our class wrote a poem in honor of MLK day. We wanted to share:

I am Martin Luther King Jr

By: Mrs. Johnson’s 5^th Grade Class

January 16, 2014

 

I am confident.

I am a risk taker.

I am committed to helping everyone be treated fairly.

I am disappointed about how African Americans are treated poorly.

I am Martin Luther King Jr.

I am concerned about my people being mistreated.

I am speaking for all African Americans.

I am a brave man.

I am ready for all African Americans to be treated with respect.

I am Martin Luther King Jr.

I am sticking up for what I believe in.

I am pleased that African Americans now have been given equal rights.

I am making a difference in the lives of all people.

I am a peace maker.

I am Martin Luther King Jr.

Winter Party

We had a blast at our winter party the Friday before we got out for winter break. A Big thank you to Michelle Reid, our room mother, and ALL the other parents who came out and helped make this time a fun time for all our students. The students had a great time in the snowman relay, a book exchange, and some yummy treats to eat. I wanted to share some pictures and here is a short video I put together too in case you wanted to see the fun!

Immigration Facebook pages

We researched different immigration groups throughout our Social Studies unit on Immigration. The students shared their research in a fun way! They created posters that looked like Face Book Pages for their immigrant. Here we are working on our projects. We have completed them and they are currently being displayed at the end of the fifth grade hallway. Come by and check them out if you get a chance! The students worked very hard on them and they turned out great! I am super proud of their work!
