Good old fashioned holiday fun in 5th Grade Land today (@MsMinardi8) ...a craft & some festive music! #PD12Days #WeArePD58

Traits of superhero (Spider-Man, Batman, etc) include: smarts, witty one-liners, a fine costume, muscles and a sense of humor...to name a few. Today our @MsMinardi8 Ss proudly showed off their fine costumes, but everyday they show us all their other traits! #PD12Days #WeArePD58

Today is shaping up to be a flurry of snowflakes in the halls of PD! We @MsMinardi8 know each of our students has gifts beyond measure that make them unique. Can’t wait to see which of their gifts they want to highlight on their snowflake. #PD12Days #WeArePD58

It’s beginning to look a lot like *winter here in 5th Grade Land. We @MsMinardi8 are keeping some December traditions alive! #PD12Days #WeArePD58
