Welcome

Welcome to Diary of a 5th Grade Teacher!  This is my very first blog and I am very excited about becoming a blogger.  Please be sure to check back as I will be adding things that I am doing in my 5th grade class in order to engage my students and to make learning meaningful!

  1. Hi, Verena! Do you have a self-contained class where you teach all the major subjects? I teach 5th grade but just language arts and social studies. Just curious about other 5th grade teachers!

  2. Hi Kristen,

    First let me begin by saying how excited I am that someone has finally left a comment on my blog!! I am new to blogging! Yes, I have a self-contained class. It get's really difficult at times having to plan for all subject areas and then finding enough time in the day to devote to ALL the subject areas has been tough! However, I enjoy having one set of students to get to know!
    Thanks for your comment!

  3. That's a challenge I immediately think of when I imagine a self-contained class, especially at 5th grade. Fifth-graders start getting into some really complex stuff! I look forward to reading more of your posts. I've got you on my blogger dashboard!

  4. Thank you! I haven't had much time to post anything lately because we are testing! Today is the last day. I am drained and so are the students! I will post more in a couple of days! Thanks for following me!
