An interview with Ms. Slanicky 
Here are some questions WWW asked Ms. Slanicky.
 
Q) What is your favorite subject to teach?
 
A) Science is my favorite to teach. It was my favorite class when I was in school so I paid close attention to my teachers and learned alot of cool facts & experiments to share with the students.
 
Q)What is the hardest subject to teach?
 
A)I think writing is the hardest subject to teach. It is difficult because it is a very subjective, what one person thinks is good writing another person may think is terrible.
 
Q) What is your favorite book you read to your students?
 
A) That's a hard one...probably, Night of the Twisters, by Ivy Ruckman.
 
Q)   What is your favorite fifth grade memory?
 
A)   When I was in 5th grade we got to go on "Outdoor Education" in April. All the students and teachers traveled up to wisconsin for a three day field trip. It was like one big camping trip and really bonded our class together before we left elementary school and moved on to middle school.
 
Q) What do you think fifth graders like most about fifth grade?
 
A) I think that fifth graders really like the novel studies we complete during the year. Another thing they really enjoy is the speech unit we do in Language Arts.
