WELCOME TO 5TH GRADE!
Welcome to the 2025/2026 school year! I am very excited for the upcoming school year!
In 5th grade, students will have Language Arts for two class periods or a "block period". This year students will either have me for period 4/5 or 7/8. It will vary by student so be sure to check your students' schedule. In Language Arts students will utilize purple and yellow folders, notebooks and a composition notebook. The majority of the time your student will keep these supplies in the classroom, however, homework may be assigned where students will need to take these home and return them to class the following day. Nightly homework includes having students read for 20 minutes.
Google classroom is a valuable tool for both students and families so make sure to check it regularly.
Greetings 5th Grades and Families,
My name is Mrs. Bastide and I will be your ELA teacher this school year. I am so excited for the upcoming school year and cannot wait to meet all of you! I graduated from Youngstown State University with a degree in Middle Childhood education ( my concentrations being English Language Arts and Social Studies). I live at home with my husband Justin and two dogs Hank and Scout- they are both mini Goldendoodles and love going on walks! When I am not teaching I enjoy reading , going to the beach, or anything Justin and I can do with Hank and Scout. I am excited to have each of you in class and I look forward to getting to know you better. It's going to be a great year!
The mission of the Howland Middle School English Language Arts department is to utilize creative and critical strategies to foster progressive skills and initiate and develop life-long readers and writers.
