Reading: Goin' Somplace Special
This week, we are
discussing and building background information about our Unit 1 Theme: Taking a
Stand. People take a stand for different reasons....injustice, discrimination,
etc. Week 1's Theme: Fighting Back, goes even further with our unit theme. We
are learning how people, young and old, fight back. Some people that we've met
so far are Martin Luther King, Jr., Cesar Chavez, and Rosa Parks.
Throughout these 2
weeks, we are focusing on character, setting, and plot. On Thursday, we learned
our vocabulary words and made a study guide foldable. Remember, study these
words each night, and turn in your foldable next Thursday with your test for BONUS
POINTS!!! Here's a vocabulary game you can use to learn and practice your new
words - ENJOY!

This blog will be used to inform you of what is going on in
our class and as a teaching tool for your students. I'll also be posting
reminders, and answering any questions you may have. Please come and check out
my blog and share your comments!
When blogging, please follow simple rules:
- No Names, either first or last
- No phone numbers or addresses
- Please don't share anything too personal
- All comments will be reviewed by me before they post to the wall
- Please treat this as an online classroom and behave as you would in school
- When leaving comments, your username should be your made up username
Anyone can comment...If Grandma in OK wants to comment, tell
her to leave a variation of the students username.

It's SWEET to be a 5th Grader!!!
Welcome to 5th Grade!!!
My name is Mrs. Rapp and I am looking forward to having your
child in my classroom this year. Since we will be spending time together, I
wanted to tell you a little about myself. This is my 16th year teaching. I graduated from Texas Tech University in
2001...Wreck 'Em Tech! At Tech, I received a
Bachelor degree in Multidisciplinary Studies with a minor in English. Some of
my favorite things are flowers, reading, traveling and all things Texas Tech (LOVE my
Red Raiders). I enjoy spending time with my family and friends. We are going to have a fun and successful year
in fifth grade!! Feel free to contact me anytime with your questions or
concerns.
Our
PTA has a Facebook page, and a Twitter
account. These, as well as our campus webpage, should be checked often for
current events and happenings around our campus! I love to have my students,
parents, and even grandparents blog about what we are learning. I'm looking forward to a "SWEET" year!!!
Thank You,
Mrs. Rapp
