New School Year, New Grade

After 5 years of being a professional 3rd grade, I have begun a new journey into the 5th grade. It has been 6 weeks since the start of the school year for us, and I am growing accustomed to my new grade level. A have a small class of 11 students 9 of them have been together since at least 1st grade. I taught this class as 3rd graders and I must say it is amazing to see the growth in them. 5th graders are much more capable of working on more complex projects independently then 3rd graders.

While I miss knowing the curriculum almost by heart, I am enjoying the challenge of learning new topics. I am also enjoying teaching Computer Science to my 5th graders and they seem to be enjoying learning about the history of computers.
