Hello new fifth graders,

Welcome back! I am honored to have the opportunity to be your 5th grade teacher! We have a wonderful year planned with many opportunities to grow academically, socially, and virtuously. I believe that a well-rounded education contains moments of failure, a drive to persevere, and the heart to empathize with others.

Our expectations in fifth grade are high, but you will rise to the challenge and surprise yourself with what you will be able to accomplish. I am looking forward to making so many incredible memories with you this school year. May our time together be full of wonder, laughter, and empathy as we navigate the exciting adventure called 5TH GRADE!
