Welcome Back

Welcome back to a new school year!  I hope everyone has had a restful summer vacation.  I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on Wednesday morning!  We are going to have a great year together.  So rest up these last few days of summer so that we can be ready to work come Wednesday morning.

See everyone in a few days!

Mystery

It's a Mystery! Mrs. Boucher's class has been enjoying the genre of mysteries. The elements of a mystery are character, setting, plot, clues, distractions, and structure. Working in small groups, students wrote their own mysteries.

Holiday Recipe Book

Are they trying to get out?

Tis the season for some recipe sharing.   As you know, your child asked for your help in sharing a family favorite recipe. We began this writing in a google doc as homework.  Using the app, Book Creator,  students then copied and pasted their ingredients and recipe on to a blank page in the app.

Once each student had created their own page the books were airdropped and combined into one final book.

Warning you will want to make all of these recipes soon!

Digital Option: Add The Boucher Way Recipe Book to your digital library (for iPad or tablet reading).

Cardboard Challenge 2016

This past week the students in fifth grade built arcade games from cardboard and tape.  They were inspired by a little boy in California who created his own arcade.  You can watch the video here and see pictures from our Cardboard Challenge. We all had a lot of fun while learning the engineering process!

Welcome Back to School

Dear Parents and Students,

I am so excited for the upcoming year! We are going to have a great year together and I can't wait for September.  I hope you have done some back to school shopping for all the supplies we are going to need this year.  School supply shopping is one of my favorite things to do. If you need the list, you can click here: School Supplies Grade 5.  You should open everything at home and label all notebooks and folders with your name.

Our first day of school is September 6 and you should be at school by 8:40.  I will be outside to meet you.

I hope you have been reading, practicing your math facts, and have gotten plenty of rest and relaxation!

See you in a few weeks,
Mrs. Boucher
