Welcome to my fifth grade class! Fifth grade is the final step of elementary school then . . . BAM! MIDDLE SCHOOL! So much of what we do in fifth grade is in preparing our students for middle school. Therefore, effort and accountability are emphasized. WE are a team in helping students be the best they can be! Parents, students, and teachers must give equal effort in this learning process. Think about a tripod - it won't stand up if one of the three legs are broken! I'm looking forward to working with all of you as we make this the BEST YEAR EVER!
