Welcome Grade 5 Families to another year at school!

We are so excited for all the wonderful things we will do this year with all of you. We will continue to use this blog as a space to update on what is happening in the classroom, post pictures, showcase student work and provide you with easy access to important resources.

We will continue to use the next few weeks settling into our new schedule, with new teachers, new routines and a beautiful new room! A big emphasis will be on independence this year as we help students prepare for Middle School. One link we did want you to have is the link to the Homework Board. You will find a quick link in the menu at the top of this page, where teachers will always post homework, project due dates, test/quiz dates, etc. Students are encouraged to check this link daily and you are welcome to check it as well to help them stay on top of their work. We will speak more to this at Back to School Night on September 17th, from 7PM – 9PM. 

In the meantime, if you have any questions, concerns or feedback for us at any time, please do not hesitate to reach out.

We look forward to a great year!

 

Morah Marina, Mme. Sylvie, Mme. Efi and Mrs. Thompson

Grade 5 Public Speaking

By

With GREAT SUCCESS, the grade 5s all completed their public speaking assignment.

Placements in the top three of both classes went to Livia, Gila, Noa, Oren, Jonah, and Nathaniel.

The students have their scoring rubrics so they can see how to improve for the big step into the middle school competition next year.

Grade 5 Public Speaking

Hi All,

Sorry for the last minute post but here is some info about the grade 5 Public Speaking:

Both classes will be seated in Mr. Watters’ classroom by 8:45am. All desks have been pushed off to the side and students will be seated in their chairs. The schedule has been posted for a few days. See below.

We will start during the 1st period but to not interrupt gym or French classes, we will pause and then resume 6th period and run all afternoon.

We may need to finish some speeches on Tuesday for timings or appointments.

Have a good evening!
