Welcome to our new 2025-26 school year!! I am so excited to be a part of our 5th grade team and I am looking forward to all of the fun things we will explore and learn throughout this year. This will be my 15th year of teaching in a Catholic School environment where we can grow in our Catholic Faith alongside an engaging curriculum. During Language Arts class, we will focus on themes such as Vocabulary Workshop, Grammar and Spelling. Throughout the year we will also complete writing activities using the 6 traits of writing. Our Reading curriculum incorporates various short stories and 3 novel studies. We also have fun field trips planned that will enhance our language arts, science and social studies curriculums as well as builds our 5th grade community! I look forward to teaching your child throughout this year and thank you for your continued support and involvement in the learning process! Please reach out to me anytime at j.coffey@stephen.org. Blessings,Ms. Coffey
