Positive+Community+Members



Throughout this school year, you have worked very hard to create a positive classroom community where all of its members could make progress and grow. You have achieved that! Each and every person in your classroom community has made progress. P.R.I.D.E. is shown everyday. You are getting ready to move on to middle school. You are going to be switching classes every 43 minutes. Each class will have a different teacher, a different set of classmates, and each will be a different community that you are a member of. You have worked hard to become a positive member of this classroom community. It is time to start thinking about what you have learned this year that can help make you successful next year.

Your final wiki assignment is to create a final reflection on fifth grade, what you have learned, and what you will take with you moving forward. Throughout this project think about what makes you a positive member of your classroom community. You will do part of this assignment in school and part at home. The whole project is due this week. You are encouraged to get ideas from not only your classmates, but anyone who is a student of Mrs. McDonald and Miss Breen. You will want to look through your writer's notebook and your reading response letters to help you remember your year. Remember that last week your class created a Google doc that lists memories from this year.
