We Have a Growth Mindset!
The 5th Grade Team is always trying to improve our instruction and communication. We have heard your suggestions and concerns and are making an effort to better meet your needs. The following are changes that have been made or are coming soon:
- New newsletter format to make communication clearer
- Assignments on the digital notebook will be designated by assigning teacher AND homeroom
- Digital assignment notebook size cut in half (to aid opening on mobile devices)
- Students will now have Science and Social Studies on the same days each week (see schedule below)
These changes represent a balance between what works for families, age-appropriate responsibility for students, and realistic expectations for teachers. We will continue to evolve and change as we strive to find the right balance for our 5th graders!
Please Dress For the Weather!
We go outside if the windchill is above 20 degrees and it's not raining. Please help your student make appropriate clothing choices for outside play!
