“Courage. Kindness. Friendship. Character. These are the qualities that define us as human beings, and propel us, on occasion, to greatness.” ~ R.J. Palacio, Wonder
WELCOME everyone to 5th grade, your last year in elementary school. We will be having an exciting year ahead. You will be working with me for all subjects, and you will be switching with a few other fifth grade teachers during block time.
5th grade is a very busy year. We will be doing a lot to prepare for your move to the middle school and hopefully, you will learn some good study and organization skills. We do many team activities with all of the other 5th grade classes, so you will have an opportunity to see all of your friends from the past.
