Exeter-Milligan’s fifth grade class has been learning
through action this year. They recently finished one of their larger
projects, a Revolutionary War play.
The students did an excellent job on the project and
first year teacher Miss Sara Lincoln was very pleased with the results, “I
enjoy how hard this group works. Anytime I ask for their best they go
above and beyond. I have come to know that when I ask them to do
something, such as a project, they will exceed my expectations. I also
enjoy how happy each student is and how much they seem to enjoy school.
They are truly a great class!"
Each day Lincoln’s class starts about the same as the
students add their points to an app called Class Dojo, call local senior
citizens for the Tele-Care program and say the Pledge of Allegiance.
Their mornings are spent in
read, spelling and math before they have a recess and then eat lunch. In
the afternoon the students have social studies, writing or science and their
“specials” which include music, keyboarding, library and p.e. They always
end they day by talking about the things they need to remember for the next day
at school.
Soon the class will be
starting their science projects relating to energy. Lincoln plans to
guide the students in performing several simple experiments in their chapter on
energy.
Lincoln has found this first
year of teaching very rewarding, “ This group of students is unique
because they find a friend in each person in their class. Each group project we
have done, they act as if their group is their best friend. Which for
many of them is probably true. They are such a likeable group of kids and
always happy and ready to help. This group is always ready to achieve
their best and eager to do better the next time. They have been an
absolute joy to teach my first year.”
The fifth grade has more fun
events to look forward to in the rest of the year including a field trip, some
science projects and field day.
