It's official...I am moving to 5th grade! :-) I am excited, but at the same time I am terrified. With 5th grade comes the added pressure of the CRCT. Students in 5th grade must pass the reading and math CRCT in order to be promoted. Please understand that I wasn't implying that I didn't care if my students passed or not in 4th grade (where there is no passing requirement), but the task seems kinda daunting when the promotion rule is in place. However, I thought this would be the best time to move since we are shifting over to the Common Core standards. Even if I stayed in 4th, I would have been learning a new curriculum. I have never taught 5th grade, so any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated!
Since I am moving to 5th grade, I get to move to another classroom. I have spent the last week pondering what my classroom would look like. Since the custodians at my school are busy cleaning and waxing our floors, I can't get into my room. So instead, I use the Classroom Architect!
