Classroom News
I am excited to have everyone in our class! It is truly a privilege to share the
joys of fifth and sixth grade with you! Students entering Fifth and Sixth Grade
will be met with a positive learning environment and a very positive attitude. J I want to make certain that students enjoy their learning
experiences. Students will be
recognized for their positive attitudes.
To be successful adults, students must work cooperatively with others
and practice the skill of teamwork.
This year your students will be evaluated on academic information, while
also mastering communication and spiritual skills. Students will learn to compromise,
handle conflict, organizational skills, accept responsibility and much, much
more!

What to expect:
5th Grade Math: Everyday we will start
off with a problem of the day, where they will earn money if they are correct.
Three days a week we will be doing math facts in a flash. For each lesson will be interacting with
the promethean board. The students will have homework just about everyday. We
will do some of it in class together so I can help. Throughout the chapters we
will be playing games and doing activities to help with the objective being
taught. We will take one day to review the chapter by playing a review game and
then we will take the test for that chapter.
