Welcome to 5G!

Welcome to fifth grade! I am looking forward to all of the learning that will take place this year.

This year, we are using a new tool called Class Dojo. Class Dojo is a great way for you to track your student's behavior and homework record at home. Each time your student is on task in class, helpful, or completes their homework, they will receive a Dojo Point. The students will lose Dojo Points for being off task, disrespectful, and for missing homework. The students must receive an overall percentage of 85% or more each week in order to participate in "Fun Friday". Also on Dojo, you can find class announcements, daily homework updates, and you can communicate with me directly through messaging!

The students will have homework every night except for Fridays. The homework is intended to be quick review/reinforcement of the material we cover in class that day. I initial the students' assignment notebooks each afternoon to ensure they are recorded the homework correctly. If your child is ever struggling on the homework please reach out to me!

In class, we use technology often. We have four computers and three Chromebooks available for students to use in class. If a student wants to bring in their own piece of technology to use for research and typing please send them in with a note that verifies you have allowed them to bring it.

Students' grades can be accessed through PowerSchool. Students will be given a number grade for assignments that corresponds with the selected Common Core State Standard. Scores will range from 1-4.

  • A score of 1: Student need significant work before achieving the standard
  • A score of 2: Student is progressing towards the standard
  • A score of 3: Student has successfully achieved the standard
  • A score of 4: Student is above grade level for the standard

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns throughout the year. You may contact me through email or directly through our Class Dojo page!
