In the event of an e-learning day (snow day/emergency weather) check the "Homeroom Google Classroom" there will be a choice board for students to do and will count for their attendance. All work is due the following Monday.
Don't forget to complete the attendance form as it will count as attendance for your child.
Hello, and welcome to a new school year! I am so excited to have your child in my class. This year will be full of new, fun, and challenging learning opportunities.
This will be my third year of teaching and my third year here at Kinnikinnick in 5th grade. I attended Illinois State University where I pursued my Bachelors of Science in Elementary Education degree with an Endorsement in Reading.
