Exciting Pilot at the Luce For 5th-Grade Students
Hello 5th Grade Families,
We wanted to reach out and update you on an exciting development impacting our 5th-Grade program for the 2021-2022 school year. This year in 5th-Grade we are piloting a departmentalized model. That simply means that teachers will work in partnerships to teach the core content and share students.
We hope this model will help students engage more profoundly with the core content standards, build independence, and have a robust shared experience across the 5th-Grade.
This year, the partnerships are as follows:
Partnership 1:
Ms. Fabbiano: Math & Science
Ms. Wade: Humanities(ELA)/Social Studies
Partnership 2
Ms. Shemtov: Math & Science
Ms. Fish: Humanities(ELA)/Social Studies
Teachers working in partnerships will be responsible for grading and providing high-quality instruction for the content they are responsible for teaching. At this point, you should have received an email from your child’s homeroom teacher. The homeroom teacher is the teacher listed on your child’s class assignment letter.
We are very excited to launch this partnership model at the Luce. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to let me know.
Thank you,
Yeshi Lamour
Proud Principal
