Mrs. Woodward's Class

Every student was cast in a play regarding the theme of Ancient Rome. Several of the plays revolved around the event of Julius Caesar's assassination

It has been so much fun to see how creative the class has been this past week creating their social studies themed video game. I have loved watching them collaborate and help one another. Plus once you have created a video game who doesn't then create a controller out of bell peppers to play it with? I love this class.

To all the parents of my students if you think parenting a middle schooler is tough you are correct. You might enjoy this article. At the same time I have taught over 1,000 students in my career so far and I can easily say this group of students I have had the pleasure of teaching this year is exceptional. You are all doing a wonderful job of raising intelligent, caring, sensitive, and witty individuals. http://www.npr.org/sections/13.7/2016/06/06/480906083/think-mothering-young-kids-is-hard-get-ready-for-even-tougher-times?utm_source=facebook.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20160606

Think Mothering Young Kids Is Hard? Get Ready For Even Tougher Times New research suggests the most difficult time for mothers isn't when children are in early childhood — but when the kids reach middle school, says psychologist Tania Lombrozo.

Da Vinci Days is coming to our classroom this Thursday. If you would like to come and celebrate it with us just let me know. We would love to have adult volunteers in the classroom.

We were thrilled to have our local knight come and speak to the students about the history of armour. Of course he also needed to demonstrate the strength of the armour as well.

I hope you are all having a great Spring Break and will be ready to hit the ground running when I see you next week.
