5th Grade News
Greetings 5th Grade Families!
We have had a wonderful and busy week. We have been working hard to establish routines that will help our students develop into the students they aspire to be. Coming up next week we have Big Questions Day on Monday, and we will also begin TTT (Teacher Table Time) as we provide differentiated support to best meet the needs of all learners. Fifth graders must be reading for at least 45 minutes each day. We would like your support at home making sure they are reading and completing their reading log each day. After-School Sports begin this Monday, Aug. 14th. Feel free to contact us with any questions or concerns. Have a great week!
