Shelter Idea for Our Field Trip Competition

What will my students' shelters look like? hmm

Gabriel's & Morgan's shelter at our house


Whatever their shelter looks like, I know my students will make me proud!  See you soon!


Final Field Trip TOMORROW

Tomorrow marks our FINAL FIELD TRIP.  Students will get to see and experience where I grew up!  We'll be headed to rural New Holland around 8:30am.  My parents - Larry & Sally Martin - will provide a fruit snack, lunch, a wagon ride, FUN and much more! 

My family at my parents house

Feel free to bring a basketball, kickball ball, camera, etc.  There will also be a trip to their horse farm where students will get to pet horses!  We'll have a little competition - Boys vs. Girls - to see who can build the best "hooch" (military slang for a temporary shelter) out in the woods, too


We should be back to school by 2:30.  Looking forward to a fun final field trip.  If you have any questions, do not hesitate: wmellette@lccs.cc.

See you in the morning!

Chapel Surprise!

My class REALLY surprised me with a RAP (written by Mrs. Awesome Ally Horst)!  My students' performance was exceptional!  I LOVED IT.  In case you missed it, here you go! 

5th Grade Rap for Mrs. Mellette’s Chapel Surprise

Kaylee & Janae:
Her name is Mrs. Mellette and she’s the chapel planner
Jayda & Sarah Cast:
She’s the best of the best and she’s even got good manners
Kaylee & Janae:
She likes to say what what and sugar snaps too
Jayda & Sarah Cast:
She always makes us happy, even when we’re blue

Boys:
We appreciate what she’s done
to make our chapels fun
We learned about God’s love and grace
and that in heaven we’ll see Jesus’ face.

Lee, Sarah Cap, Sierra A
She’s goin’ to serve the Lord in bike lovin’ Montreal
When you eat an M&M, say a prayer for them y’all

De’Andra, Sierra S, Kianna
Now the end of the year is here
and we might shed a tear
but we know God will use her and we can’t wait to hear!

Everyone
Mrs. Mellette, Gabriel and Morgan
We’re glad you’re not moving all the way to Oregon!
What what! Sugar snap, that’s the end of our rap!
