Hello my future students – I cannot wait to be your teacher for next year. We have some fun things planned for 5th grade and I, personally, have some FUN stuff that we are going to do this year as well. Of course, school is NOT all about kicks and giggles… hard work, learning, and growth HAS to happen, but if you have a good attitude IT makes the hard stuff BETTER!
Summer is the time for Wandering… I truly believe that, whether you can TRAVEL all around, in your state, city, or even just your neighborhood… get out and explore! Also, another way to “Wander” is to READ. Jumping into a GOOD book and leaving this world behind. Narnia, Fablehaven, Hogwarts, don’t forget, leaving the time period for a time or too, go to the future or the past! Reading opens so many doors for you and so much in your imagination.
If you do not LOVE to read, it is okay, I hated it too!~ SHOCKER~ but I learned to find books that I would enjoy and train myself to read books I didn’t like, but had to read for learning information. Discipline = Freedom! That is a HUGE lesson we will be working on this year too, while reading and following the “Warrior KID Code”. You are ALL going to become WARRIORS!
If you want a head start, here are a few tips and guides:
- Wake up early… not TOO early, it is summer… but don’t sleep till noon.
- Exercise = working out, playing a sport, hiking… whatever just MOVE that body!
- Read = put the phone, ps4, whatever DOWN and pick up a book to read.
- Math games = REFLEX, or some of IXL if you did it, don’t lose your skills over the summer.
These are a few ways to stay on track! See you soon Warriors! xoxoxo
