Hello Fifth Grade Families,
We are very excited that you will be in our classes this year! We have heard so many good things about you from last year’s teachers. This year will be filled with many new things to learn and experience. You will finally be able to play on the new field this year as well! We will also be using a blog (http://fifthgradesimondsschool.blogspot.com) along with our website to help keep you and your parents up to date on what is happening in 5th grade. We are also excited to have a new math curriculum (Envisions) that is both fun and challenging. Stay tuned for more information about Envisions math.
Your 5th grade teachers have high expectations for you. Our goal is for you to have success and confidence in learning. Although sometimes learning requires patience and hard work, the result is that what was once confusing or difficult now makes sense and is easy. We will help you every step of the way and celebrate your accomplishments with you.
We look forward to learning more about you and your interests. Your first assignment is a fun one. We would like you to write about a memorable experience you had this summer. The writing should be at least two paragraphs in length. Be sure to bring your writing with you when you come to school on August 26th so we can share our experiences with one another. Don’t worry about supplies, simply bring a couple of pencils, a bag or backpack to bring things to and from school. We will provide paper, crayons, folders, and other craft type supplies.
If you would like to meet with us and see your room before school starts, we will be in our rooms August 25th from 2:00-3:00pm. Also, be sure to invite your family to the Simonds Pancake Breakfast that will be taking place on our first day back, August 26th at 8:30am.
See you soon!
Mr. Shepherd and Ms. Connor
P.S. Parents, send us your email addresses so we can share our class blog and emails with you.
