Last week, we took a special field trip! We were able to walk our 5th graders to the middle school! The kids got to meet teachers, tour the campus, and get a feel for what it will be like next year! I love their excitement! ❤️#ilovemystudents #iteach5th @AlachuaSchools

I received some beautiful flowers during the Teacher of the Year Ceremony. I brought them to school so we could all enjoy their beauty! ❤️ #ilovemystudents #Iteach5th #teachersofinstagram #teachersfollowteachers

I love doing hands-on activities so the kids can actually SEE and EXPERIENCE the concepts they are learning about! We also use this time to practice the scientific method! #iteach5th #teachersofinstagram #forceandmotion @AlachuaSchools

Since February 1 is on a Saturday, we started off Black History Month a day early! I love teaching my students about the amazing men and women who made such a significant impact on how we live today! ❤️

“Summarize: means to make it shorter, just the facts, like a reporter!” I love how much some of these kids have opened up! #iteachfifth #ilovemystudents @AlachuaSchools

Two thumbs up for these dry erase paddle boards! Students found the volume of rectangular prisms using unit cubes and wrote the volume on their board. I got to quickly assess who got it, and the kids thought it was great! #teacherwin #iteachfifth @AlachuaSchools

We had the best time creating clouds out of shaving cream! Ss had to tell what what part of the atmosphere they were in, what type of weather they helped predict, and we also added -nimbo and -alto to them and discussed how that changed the cloud! @AlachuaSchools

I gave the students 15 minutes to come up with a skit of the water cycle. This little narrator did a great job explaining the water cycle! 👌🏼😉#iteachfifth #ilovemystudents @AlachuaSchools

Ss had to find their topic matches and then decide who was the main idea and who were the supporting details! The main idea had to sit on the table and we determined whether the details supported them or let them fall! #mainidea @AlachuaSchools

How can you not miss these kids? I was out Monday and came back to this❤️❤️❤️ Toughest, but most rewarding job in the world! I love my students! #iteachfifth #whileiwasout

One math strategy that usually helps is color coding! I usually teach it a certain way, but allow the kids to organize their colors in a way that makes sense to them! Just another way to see their thinking! #colorcodingmath @AlachuaSchools

Can’t wait to graph our results as we watch the water cycle in action! #iteachfifth #watercycle @AlachuaSchools

[Kasey Norris @wildabout5th]

Find your math grade! One student got an equation, one got a product. One had to round to find their estimated product, and the other student had to find possible factors that if rounded, would equal their product! I love when they explain their thinking! @AlachuaSchools
