Hello, Parents! I'm so excited your child is part of our classroom community, where reading, writing, and thinking are our FOCUS!!!
So you've found our classroom blog...this is new for me this year, and I think it's going to be lots of fun!
As you know, my classroom involves 4th Grade AC Reading, 5th Grade AC Reading and ELA, 5th Grade Gifted Social Studies, and 5th Grade FOCUS.
I'll try to post as often as I can for each group. I'll post things we've done during the day, long term project due dates, and homework. I'll also try to give you insight into my teaching philosophies and an idea of what your child's day looks like when we're together. Hopefully, I can give you some conversation starters that will help you get past the answer, "nothing" when you ask your child what they did in school that day. You'll see very little paper evidence of what we do all day, so I'll try to post lots of pictures. You'll notice I used the word "try" quite often. My first priority is planning challenging and exciting lessons for your child. I'll update as time allows. Thank you in advance for understanding!
I'm looking forward to a wonderful year with your children!
