The Life ‘Round Here project my fourth and fifth graders participated in this year is coming to a close. The winner for our school was Trey, a fourth grader in Mrs. Knight’s class. The students did an amazing job and truly enjoyed themselves. Please take a look at our projects along with those of the other 14 schools that participated. Schools from Waycross to New Zealand and beyond all worked hard on producing multimedia videos about themselves and their towns.

The last day of the school year for students! Wow! This year has flown by . I can’t believe how quickly it has gone. Now is a time to rejoice, reflect, and rejuvenate. We get to rejoice and celebrate so many success that all our students have had throughout the year. I wish our 5th graders the best of luck as they move on to new adventures in middle school. As a teacher, reflection can be a very powerful process to help improve and discover new methods. And finally, rejuvenating is necessary to help us comeback strong and refreshed. I look forward to next year, but not just yet.

This picture was taken this morning in front of the school. 8:40 am and still frost on the ground! It was 46 degrees Fahrenheit and slowly starting to warm up. I am not a big fan of cold weather but it is neat to see changes in seasons. South Florida, which is where I moved from, had summer and summer lite. Those were the only two seasons.

School update: The CRCT online practice tests are going well in my classroom and we are having parent information nights to help our parents to utilize this great resource from home as well. The Center Promote teams are working hard on their websites with a concentration on the research and information gathering at the present time. Besides the cold weather, all is well at Center Elementary.

Center Elementary, Waycross, GA. Our first week is underway and going great! My name is Mr. Farmer and I teach in our Science and Math based computer lab. I have named my classroom the “KnowledgeFarm” because it is where my students come to grow.

I will post notes and pictures on here to keep you informed as we progress through the year. Feel free to send me an email or click on the comments link bellow if you have any questions.

I am looking forward to a great year!
