Thanks! Make the site above one of your favorites!

Welcome back everyone! I’m really looking forward to this school year and hope that you are too! First off I have to say that I am very excited to be back in 5th grade! I hope that you all had a very nice, enjoyable, relaxing, and refreshing summer. Below you will find a suggested supply list for my classroom. Take advantage of some of the sales while you can. You do not need these supplies for the first day of school.

I’d also like to welcome you to our classroom blog. This is the best way to keep updated on what is going on in our classroom and school! The kids will have podcasts, videos, and their work up here throughout the school year. Also, you will find games, pictures, and very helpful websites on here; not to mention that the homework will be posted daily up here as well as some of our math Study Link and Journal pages.

I cannot wait to see you all on the first day of schoo! Enjoy the rest of the summer and I will see you all on Tuesday, September 8th at 12:25pm.
