Our First Week...

               We had a great first week of school getting to know the members of Team 105! 

The last year of Elementary school can be very exciting and it certainly goes by very fast. We will try to make the most of each day in Team 105. We spent this week getting to know ourselves and each other as individuals. It is important to recognize each other's unique abilities before we can start building a team. Next week we will begin to focus on how to communicate with each other respectfully and thus build an effective team. 

If your child, like many typical fifth graders, could only seem to remember how to use one word answers to tell you about their first week :) Try out these conversation starters:

1. Why did you play with toilet paper this week?
2. What is human bingo... it sounds painful?
3. What's a selfie?
4. Tell me about your "puzzle"? Did you bring it home?
5. Who is Mr. Terupt?
6. What is your goal for the school year?
7. Why is your class the best "Hands Down"?

Hopefully those questions will elicit some more in depth responses. We really had a great first week and I am excited to spend the year with your children! Thank you to all of the parents and children who have filled out my online survey. It is very valuable information that I refer back to often during the first few weeks. If you and your child have not gotten a chance to fill it out there is still time. Please take a moment to click on the links on the sidebar and fill out the questionnaire.

Thank you and feel free to email me with any questions or concerns.
