Welcome to 5th Grade!!
Welcome 5th Grade Class of 2025!! I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am to be your teacher this year. This will be my 16th year teaching and my 4th year in 5th grade at Laurel!
5th grade is packed with learning adventures that I hope will be both exciting and challenging. I expect each and every one of you to try new things, ask for help, and never give up. Those will be the key ingredients to your success in this class.
In 5th grade we find adventure through reading a multitude of genres and topics. You will become scientists by investigating our world, and will develop into masters of many math skills including multi-digit multiplication, long division, decimals, and fractions. You will also be transforming into thoughtful and caring leaders at Laurel as they prepare to move on to Middle School!
One of the best parts of being a teacher is building a partnership with parents and students to ensure that each student can be successful in school. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time if you have any questions or concerns. You can find my contact information here. I look forward to getting to know everyone and making this year the best every!
