Ready, Set, Go!

Hi Everyone,
It is that time of the year when we start getting excited about school!  I am excited to be teaching fifth grade this year.  Fifth grade is such a fantastic year and students will be preparing for a middle school transition all year.  Our learning community will be a great place to grow this year!  Please explore this website and check back every Friday for updated posts!

I'm so excited to see my new students and get started with active learning.  The fifth-grade team has some wonderful things planned for the year so get ready!

Here are some helpful tips for what students will need every day for a successful day of school:

• Backpack
• Pencil Box with student name
• 2 sharpened pencils
• 1 small pencil sharpener
• 2 correcting ink pens (please use colors that are bright and easy to see when correcting and erasable pens are preferred)
• Reusable water bottle
• Please only send in fruits and veggies for snacks all year.  PLEASE REFRAIN FROM sending in sugary snacks, chips, cookies, etc.  We want to make sure students with food allergies have a safe and cared for school environment too so please do not send in nuts of any kind. Please see the general classroom information page for more detailed info.  Thank you for supporting our classroom.

Help Needed!
Please visit my Volunteer Opportunities page to volunteer to help out for the classroom.  I need help this week and next if you are interested.  Please sign up and I will communicate with you via email to set up a time and directions of how to help.  Thank you for supporting our learning environment!

Curriculum Night
Join me on Tuesday, September 17 in Room 301 for information about our classroom.

School Donations 

We will need items regularly all year to keep the classroom in good shape! Please consider donating Kleenex/tissue boxes, plant-based cleaning supplies like plant-based wipes, spray, and dish soap. We clean our room every day to keep germs down so we can have a healthy environment.  There is also an Amazon classroom wishlist if you feel inclined to help our classroom grow.
