The story was about a man who fell asleep in the Catskill mountains for 20 years. I truly enjoyed your “remixed” Rip Van Winkle skits in class, yet I had to think to myself, if I fell alseep for 20 years, what would I find when I woke up? Think about it, if you fell asleep today in 2009 and woke up 20 years later, it would be 2029. What do you think your life would be like? How would the world change?

What are some experiences you can share with them to help them adjust to 5th grade and our classroom?

You will soon be “Movin’ On Up” to QMS! We are heading to visit the middle school talent show this Friday. In lieu of the first transition field trip, are there any questions you have about going to the Middle School? What would you like answered about next year? What are you worried about? What are you nervous about? Any quesitons ask them here! Maybe some of my “alumni” will visit the page and answer them for you!

Any time I hear a bird chirp, or see the snow start to melt I know that spring is coming soon. I love the change of the seasons! What I look forward to the most in spring is on the first WARM day of the year, I love to roll down my sunroof on my car and play my music really loud.  What is something you are looking forward to do in the spring?

I think they are so cool! What city are you making a commercial for? What’s a fun fact about your city that you didn’t know before this project?

Dear Class,

How are you? I am fine! Can you believe it’s already January? This school year has sure gone by fast! Soon you will be leaving me and entering into the middle school, yet I know you will be prepared! I have really enjoyed being your teacher this year, you are a great class (one of my best ever!) Think back to the goals you made on the first day of school, have you accomplished those goals yet? One of my goals was to get creative with the SMARTboard, do you think I have accomplished my goal? What has been your favorite memory of 5th grade so far? I really enjoyed our field trip to the U.S.S. Slater. What is something you are looking forward to do in school over the next few months? Well I hope you write back to me, I would love to hear about what you think. Talk to you soon!

Your Friend,
Mrs. DeBlock
