Hello incoming 5th graders! Today I decided that I wanted to let u know what u will be looking forward to this year and some things about Mrs. Thomas (also known as Francis to us former 5th graders [inside joke]).
This year you will get to do reading groups and get to read with a group and do homework about it each night and read about it, but the best part is, you get to chose from like 25 projects to do a project about this book. You also get to to do work and projects based upon reading comprehension, but what you may enjoy most of all is the studying of the specific genres such as Historical fiction, Science fiction and other topics such as that. And the really cool thing is. you get to switch classes which is great because there is a different environment within the two different classrooms.Next, I will tell you all about math because that that is the other subject Mrs. Thomas teaches. You will get to do so many fun projects this year. The things you get to learn about are topics like multiplying and dividing fractions, geometry, multiplication, long division, and more fun experiences far beyond. BUT, I will tell you some friendly tips: 1) DO NOT make your work sloppy to where she can not read the final answer because you will get a big fat 0. 2) Also, when you have to do more than one thing to get your final answer, make sure to circle that answer. 3) Don't stress! She is the best teacher you could possibly have. 4) I have also heard that some of you are nervous about switching classes for math but please don't stress... that was everybody's favorite part last year!!!
The last subject Mrs. Thomas teaches is Writing. We get to do so much stuff with this subject. One day she asked us to bring in a special object. I so was confused what we were going to do with this for writing, but it ended up that we had to write a memoir about something special that happened or that was happening in your life. Of course you probably already know that we get to do Young Authors, but last year was my favorite year of doing it because she made it so much fun!Lastly, I'm going tell you about Mrs. Thomas and I know you have been waiting for this part... I'm going to tell you why she is the best teacher you could possibly have. To start of, if she is in the mood for dancing, keep her in that mood because let me tell you, she is the funniest dancer and she will either dance on desks or on her chair which is hilarious. She also likes to make nicknames for you. There is already one kid that has a nickname and school hasn't even started yet! Her nickname is small molls...or Smollz for short...see? Fun. Don't take them in a bad way, they are just for fun and typically if you get a nickname, it means she likes you. She called a student McGuff all last year because she decided his last name was to long and his first name didn't match his quirky personality. She is a great cheerleader and if she stands with one leg while teaching it's from college and other years from a cheer move. It's pretty random, but quite funny. She loves to play with you and have fun to keep it lighthearted, but also remember you're at school so still take it seriously, but don't get overwhelmed. She never wants you to get too burned out. Do not forget though, DON'T STRESS, JUST DO YOUR BEST and Mrs. Thomas will take care of the rest!!!! See you around SMA! -Alyssa
