Sixth and Fifth Graders: tomorrow's test

Hello everybody!

So... there is a test tomorrow, right? Feeling nervous? Insecure? Well, read through the following tips. They will probably help:

1) This is only a test. The world will not collapse. The universe will not stop functioning. The sun will rise tomorrow.

2) Give your best. Always your best. Do not stop trying.

3) Everything is inside your brain, somewhere. If it happens that nerves stop your brain from working properly, breathe in deeply and think: I have done this before and can and will do it again.

4) I have faith in you. I know what you can achieve. There is something special in each and every one of you. You are all different and I love you all the same. I push you because I know you can do it.

Have a good night sleep. Please do not post anything here after 20:30 pm, so everybody can disconnect, switch off and relax. I will see you tomorrow,

Enjoy,

Miss Laura

Welcome to a new School Year!!!

Dear all,

It is time we get this wonderful space working full-time. Some of you already know it, some others don't.

Here you will be able to check important things, such as homework, assignment deadlines, what to review for your tests... I will also upload some of the material we use in class, like presentations and handouts, so you can save in and use them at home. But not only that: there will be some games, videos and other insteresting material for you to learn new things at home.

Feel free to comment and make sure you check it every couple of days. This will only work if we all participate.

Welcome to the machine!

Love,

Miss Laura

5th Graders: Lateral thinking

A man walks into a bar and asks the waiter for a glass of water. The waiter takes a gun from behind the counter and points it at him. The man says "Thank you very much" and leaves the bar. Why?

Right answer gets a little treat on Tuesday. Only 5th graders, please!!!

Love,

Laura
