Mrs. Martin's 5th Grade ELA/SS

Welcome to 5th Grade

Welcome to the beginning of your 5th grade journey! I am thrilled to be your ELA & Social Studies teacher this year! This will be my 18th year teaching. When I am not grading papers or planning lessons, you can find me outside spending time with my family. We love to swim, hike, ride bikes, and be active. I grew up in a military family and have lived all over the United States. Tennessee has been my favorite so far! I am a Tennessee fan and love to watch games with friends and family. My favorites are Chick-fil-A coffee, diet coke, & spicy snacks.

Homework

Students will be expected to read for 20 minutes Monday, Tuesday, & Thursday evenings. They have a reading journal that they will be required to return the following morning. Students must pick a question from the question bank that is glued into the front cover. I would like for them to choose different questions instead of answering the same one each time. The reading journal questions are as follows:

Makeup Work Policy

Students will have the number of days missed (excused or unexcused) to makeup their work. They receive a zero after the number of missed days has passed and no work is turned in. If the student was present but turns work in 1 day late, they start with a 70%; 2 days late, they start with a 50%. After that, they receive a zero. All zero grades will be averaged into the final 9 week grade.
