What's Happening...???
Dear Parents and Students,
Welcome to the fifth grade! We plan to have a great start this 2012-2013 school year. I am looking forward to an enriching and meaningful year with your child. Since I believe all students can learn, it is my intention to create an environment in which this can take place. The key requirement for any safe classroom is respect: respect for self; respect for others; respect for education and authority; and respect for property. I expect my students to hold the same high standard of respect for the classroom environment as I do. The essential concern is that my students feel safe to learn, explore, investigate, and take risks. The classroom is a small community and students need to see themselves as part of a larger whole and engage in their learning with a cooperative and collaborative spirit.
Remember:
Parents + Child + Teacher = Success for our students!
Get ready for fun and learning.
