    Welcome to 5th grade!!!

    This year we will be learning about everything from ecosystems to forces and motion.  We will be reading many exciting books, such as Thunder Rolling in the Mountains and The River Between Us.  We are going to learn how much we really apply math to our everyday lives.  There will be lots of hands-on activities and active learning!  Get ready and hang on tight for a great school year!

      I welcome you to the fifth grade and I am so excited about this year!

    • Any unfinished class work: Any work not finished in class will need to be completed and sent to school the following day.
