Influential leaders of 1800s social media pages

Have you ever wondered what the most influential leaders of the 1800s' social media pages would look like?! Well, wonder no more!! Your fifth grade class researched their favorite influential leader and created their social media web page! This was a group project lead and directed by the students themselves.  They worked very hard researching the internet and textbooks to create these posters as well as speeches to present to the class. They even provided their peers with their notes on their person to use.

Reading Rewards!!!

Dear Parents,

I have set a goal for the students in the beginning of the year to read as many books as they possibly can. They have all exceeded my expectations and now they will be rewarded for their great efforts! I have set up a system that rewards the students every 25 books read. If they read less than 25 books they will still get a full sized candy bar in recognition of their efforts. I have noticed that most of the class likes Under Armour clothing so I have decided to give Under Armour prizes for 25, 50, 75, and 100 books read! If they don’t like a prize choice in their category, but they like one in a category below theirs, then they can choose that instead. For example, if they read 50 books, but rather have something from the 25 category they may do so. Thank you for encouraging literacy in your home! Happy reading!!!

 

Sincerely,

Miss Tygert

 

P.S. Next week is Screen-Free week and this would be a great time to get a lot of reading done!
