My students do some amazing things in my classroom that I would love to be sharing with the world. Though my students have their own blogs, I would like to use this space to share highlighted pieces of writing, innovations in the classroom, and really cool things that we come up with in 5th grade.
To start this blog strong, we are going to be participating in A to Z Blogging month. Each of my students has selected a letter of the alphabet with something that they are interested in. Our theme for the month is "What Matters to Fifth Graders." I think you will be surprised some of the things that they have selected that matter to them. All of the writing will come from my students (except for a select day from me, and one from a special guest author). Hopefully it will give you an insight into the world of fifth graders, and showcase some of the fabulous writing that my students are able to do.
I am looking forward to reading your student's posts!
ReplyDeleteThank you for creating this sharing space, Mrs. Iwanski!
ReplyDeleteHello, Fifth Graders! As an A-Z co-host, I wanted to extend you an extra-special welcome to the A-Z Challenge! We are so glad you are here and are definitely looking forward to reading your thoughts :)
ReplyDeleteAs a side-note, if you put in the Google Friend connect widget, folks will be able to follow your blog more easily, allowing us to come visit all month long! Also if you could please turn off word verification, that would be awesome.
Welcome to the Challenge!
Thank you for the suggestion. I have turned off the word verification and have added the Google+Followers and a "Subscribe to" Wdget to the Blog
