Our Favorite Words - Kiarra & Jeremiah

Throughout the past few weeks we have modeled our favorite words. These are words we like to hear, say, and write. First, we wrote down our top 25 words. Then, we narrowed our lists down to 10 words. We wrote our 10 favorite words on construction paper to hang around the room. We did this so we can have good word choices in our writing.
Here are some examples:
wacky
spicy
rambunctious
tasteful
funky
precious
outstanding
respectful

New Website

Our 5th grade class has decided to create a classroom website. We will be posting information about things going on in our class and at school. Classroom projects and topics of study will be posted regularly. We hope to update the site often, but we are busy in the classroom, and may not have time to update daily. Hope you enjoy!!!
