Soda-lighted to Meet You!

Today is the start of the 2014-2015 school year.  The middle school is a big change for students. Most kids feel excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids are nervous or a little scared because of all the new things. For my students it is their first year in a new building, first day with several new teachers, first day with lockers, first day with new classmates. Clearly,  first day jitters rule.  Luckily, these "new" worries only stick around for a little while. 

I wanted to do something fun for each of the students in my room. I hope to encourage them as they start the new school year. I  got their attention (and smiles) with a soda pop theme.

To help students learn procedures and locate items in their new classroom, they were given a pop quiz. This quiz got students out of their chairs and exploring the layout of the classroom. 

The "Pop Quiz," reward included notes of encouragement for the new year. 

We are soda-lighted to be teaching your child.  Team 1 students will have three core teachers - Mrs. Pieper, Mrs. Fehringer, and Mrs. Full. It is our goal that your child's fifth grade experience is filled with personal growth as a thinker and learner. There are so many fun things to do and learn in the fifth grade. We are looking  forward to the adventure.  

Please know parents are always welcome in Room 100.
Let the adventure begin!
