WELCOME TO ROOM 13!
“The purpose of life is to discover your gift. The meaning of life is to give it away.” Pablo Picasso
My name is Andrea Lotus, and I am so excited to be your child's teacher!
5th and 6th grade are very exciting and informative times in your child's life. I cannot wait to be a part of that journey by working together to achieve goals and overcome challenges.
As a group, in 6th grade, we will be discovering new content in both World History and Religion. In your child's study of the ancient world this year, they will explore periods and places that remain important because they continue to influence their daily lives. Their goal this year is to gain an understanding and an appreciation of the ancient world. When they do that, they will be better able to understand and
appreciate the world in which they live.
In your child's study of Religion this year, they will start to discover themselves as children of God through personal and private journaling. They will understand that knowing God helps them know their true selves.
As a group, in 5th grade, we will be discovering new content in American History. "Story" is an important part of history. As your child progresses through this year, they will understand that American history is more than what happened in the past, but how it is a part of their daily lives. It is a part of their "story."
With 5th and 6th-Grade History's emphasis on packet and project-based learning, your child will make history their story by taking part in individual and group projects that will include writing, art, music, technology, and of course, FUN!
Important Note: I am here to challenge your student, to manage the pace of change, and help guide them toward success. I do love teaching, and I can't think of anything
better than sharing the year with these 5th and 6th-Grade classes!
