A Great Resource for Students!

I love encouraging my students to read the news!

"Teaching Kids News:" 

Click Here!

I ask students to use this site often in order to keep track of global happenings!

I love having ctudents create their own newscast, write their own news article, or reflect upon news in their hometown! These are great ways to develop reading, writing, oral communication, and media literacy! Wow!

On this page, I will be posting interesting resources that I'm using in my grade 5 classroom! I particularly enjoy Language Arts and Music, so you'll notice an emphasis on these subject areas! I want to stress reading, writing, oral communication, and media literacy skills in the classroom. Also, I want to showcase how easy it is to incorporate music into classroom activities!


Students-- You'll find all of the resources I speak about in class here!

Parents-- Use this blog to see what your child is up to in class!
