Welcome Back!

I am so excited to start the new school year!  I am looking forward to meeting all my 5th Grade students and getting to know each and every one!!
Our classroom will be based on my 3 R's - RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY and RISK.  All students will be expected to treat others in a fair and kind way.  They will need to show responsibility in their actions by completing their work and following through with class expectations.  They will also be asked to take positive risks in their learning by pushing themselves to learn all that they can.  Students will be able to join our "GO BEYOND" Club by completing extra activities.  This in-class club will be explained to the students this week.
We will also be investigating the student's learning styles.  In order to maximize our learning, the students will need to know how they learn.  We will be doing surveys to determine everyone's learning style and analyzing this data to guide us in our learning. 
I hope you are ready for an exciting school year!!  Be sure to complete the survey further down on this page about your favorite summer activity!!
