Welcome to 5th Grade!
Thank you for checking this page. I will be teaching your child Math, Science, and Social Studies. Your child will also have an ELA/Writing teacher for the other half of the day. 5th Graders have a Block 1 (homeroom) teacher and a Block 2 teacher.
Please use this webpage as a resource and check the WEEKLY PLAN section for the learning focus each week. I usually update it each Monday. The "Math Help & Websites" page has homework links to help students by lesson. Students will be using their assignment notebook to write down the assignments daily. I also send out homework and class reminders via Remind app.

Classroom and School News- April 2024
Illinois Assessment for Readiness Spring 2024
Our school will be administering the IAR test to the students once we return from spring break. This state assessment measures each student's performance in English Language Arts and Mathematics as it relates to the Illinois State Standards. It will be administered online. Students will need working headphones! Please support your child by maintaining a consistent bedtime to get plenty of rest and by providing a nutritious breakfast, lunch, and snack to enhance concentration. This assessment is one reflection of your child's academic growth. Thank you in advance for your support.
ELA 4/3 and 4/4
Math 4/9, 4/10, 4/11
E-Learning Schedule- if needed
In case of inclement weather, our school will utilize Microsoft Teams. The meeting will appear in the Stream/Post in their TEAMs. 5th Grade students know how to access assignments and announcements.
