Ms. Ramsdell's 5th Grade Classroom
Open House
Welcome!
My name is Ms. Ramsdell and this is my first year teaching! I recently graduated from Indiana University. During my student teaching I was able to teach in Australia! This was such a great experience for me and I can't wait to incorporate what I learned there to our classroom. I love traveling and learning. One thing I love about teaching is that I am always learning new things from my students. I am so excited to begin our adventure!
Our Classroom Community
My goal as your teacher is to provide a safe and welcoming community. I believe that we work best when we work as a team! It is up to all of the members of our community to display what it means to be a great teammate. To create a welcoming environment, we will do a lot of activities in different groups. By the end of our first week together the members of our community will all get to know each other! Before coming to school, please think about what it means to be apart of a community, and how you will treat your classmates to make sure everyone feels welcome!
Field Trips!
The Brookfield Zoo
We will spend the day observing animal behavior!
The Field Museum
Here we will explore the artifacts on display!
Abraham Lincoln's Hometown
We will travel to Springfield, Illinois to see Lincoln's house and museum!
Our Civil War Unit and Springfield Trip!
One of our main projects in the 5th grade is a research project about key people during the Civil War era. After learning the history behind the Civil War, our students will begin their research. To display their hard work we will have a Civil War Night on October 14th, where the students will display the posters they created to show the information they found! Since the students will have plenty of background knowledge on the events of the Civil War, we will take a trip to Springfield, Illinois on November 18th to see Abraham Lincoln's home and museum! These events are always so much fun to wrap the year up with, I'm eager to see all of the student's hard work on display! Please mark your calendars for these awesome events!
