Angel's Response to Literature

The author of Mcgrowl: It’s a Dog’s Life, is Bob Balaban. The story is told by a ten-year-old boy. He loves to go on adventures with his dog Mcgrowl. First, a guy and his wife come to Cedar Springs. Their names are Mel Munchick and his wife’s name is Von Vleck. Mcgrowl, Tomas, and his best friend Violet become Mel’s friend. Mel tries to become mayor and he succeeds. Then Mel tricks Mcgrowl, Thomas, and Violet into a dirt hole where Mel used to live. The theme of this story is to crusade for what you believe in. My favorite character is Mcgrowl. I like him because he is funny. He is funny by throwing and catching his own Frisbee. I recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs and adventure stories.

First Week of School

During our first week of 5th grade,we've practiced the procedures and routines, learned about the curriculum, and even tried our hand at gardening! (Video to come!) We're excited for our last year of elementary school and even created our own class rules!

Be respectful
Be prepared
Be on task

These rules will encourage us to practice R.O.S.E. and become real leaders and role models in our school. Here is our first video of the school year, in which we show you our assisted reading strategies.
