School Year Going By Fast
First Quarter Almost Over

The fifth and sixth graders at Glasco Grade School have been working very hard this year. It is hard to believe that we have been in school eight weeks already. There are 14 students in the fifth grade class this year whom are Ruby Arnold, Kris Burch, Michael Burd, Sara Cox, Whitney Ehlers, Mandi LeMay, Drew Michaelson, Hailey Schenk, Rayna Schmidt, Brianna Smith, Sarah Stein, Ethan Studt, Karl Tyler and Austin Waite. This year in sixth grade there are 8 students: Jocelyn Clements, Raemon Flores, Joclyn Ham, Eli Heller, Dakota Mason, Austin Pelkey, Heidi Pudge and Levi Richardson.
In math class the fifth grade is working on multiplying whole numbers and evaluating expressions. The students have also been exploring exciting ways to show the distributive properties. The students have recently made their own checkerboard models to display this challenging property.
In science the students have been enjoying the many science experiments we have done. Students are currently exploring our human body systems. Students are finding out just how amazing our bodies are.
The sixth grade is hard working as they have been learning how to use and apply multiplication properties and are exploring ways to evaluate orders of operations. The sixth grade students are all wishing they could stay on this unit of math, as they all really enjoy working with orders of operations.
The sixth grade students are also enjoying the many experiments that coincide with each science chapter. We are learning about reproduction and are discovering how traits are passed from parent to offspring. The sixth grade students have been doing projects to help understand how we get dominant-recessive traits.
I am sure the next eight weeks will go by just as fast as the first eight. I have to say it is strange yet exciting being on the other side of the desk here at Glasco Grade School. I am really enjoying my first year of teaching and all the kind support I have received from the faculty and staff here at Glasco.
