Welcome to Ms. Mercer's 5th Grade class blog.
As we grow as students, reflecting on our learning is essential. We want to think deeply about what we are learning, why it is important, and how it is helping us in our real life (our life away from school). Look for ways we are being reflective in our posts this year. Also, write comments to our posts and ask us questions to support good, reflective thinking.
