My name is Mrs. Ngai and I am currently a 5th grade teacher in the Math, Science, Technology Magnet at Montara Elementary School. I love using technology in the classroom and am really excited about using this blog with my students!
In addition to technology, I also love chocolate, traveling, learning new languages, and trying new food from many different cultures!

Describe a time that you or someone you know got into deeper and deeper trouble by telling a lie. Discuss how you or your friend could have avoided the trouble without telling the lie.
What do you know about beagles? Write about what you know. Then, do a little bit of research about beagles and write about what you found out. Find out as much as you can so you can share it with the class!
We have finished 5 chapters of Shiloh. Summarize what has happened in the story up to this point. Remember in a summary you only recall the most important details of the story, not every single little detail.
