Tremendously Thankful

Thanksgiving has arrived! Next week, we will all get to enjoy a five day break from our normal routine. However, as 5th graders, we all know there is much more to Thanksgiving than getting out of school! Think of some things that you are thankful for, and post them on our blog to share with others! I'll start my list for you...

1. I am thankful for YOU! I am so fortunate to be your teacher and to have the opportunity to spend time with you each day!
2. A wonderful family....
3. Fantastic friends...
4. My job at our beautiful school...Go Lions!

I could continue, but I really want to hear from you! :)
Love, Miss Cox

The Westing Game

Hey guys!
This past week, we began a new novel in class called The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. This is another one of my favorite books! You have been introduced to many new characters such as Grace, Turtle, Theo, Chris, Sandy McSouthers, Otis Amber, Crow, and many more.

1)

At this point, who do you think killed Sam Westing and why?

2)

Who do you think will become the winner of the Westing Game by solving the mystery?
