I am so thrilled to be joining you on a wonderful new adventure! I hope you are as eager as I am to embark on a year of learning, exploring, and discovering together.
I imagine you have spent some time this summer thinking about what your fifth grade year will be like. Like you, I have been envisioning a new year, with old friends and new, engaging in an exciting and challenging curriculum. I have been working with friends and teachers to put together great projects, ideas, and units that we will spend the year exploring. It has been an energizing way to spend part of my summer!
I hope you have been thinking about fifth grade with eagerness and excitement as well! There’s nothing better about September than walking into your new classroom, seeing your friends, and unpacking brand new school supplies. You may even be spending some time wondering what your year will be like! So, to get your minds ready, think about how we can help make Fifth Grade a great year for you. What will your goals be? How can we work together to achieve them? These are some year-long conversations that we will begin as soon as you arrive in September. Don’t worry about not having answers to these questions right away - our learning experiences and reflections will be our guides to an exciting and enriching year. Every new day or experience will be an opportunity to add something special to our class.
Tuesday, September 3rd will be the start of a great new academic and social experience for us all. We are going to have a fantastic year. I can’t wait for our first day together! While you are waiting for the first day of school to roll around, I hope that you are spending some time reading, writing letters to friends, and enjoying every last minute of summer!
On the first day of school please bring in a few books (2) that you read this summer and one that you are currently reading. Also, please bring two current pictures of yourself.
