Welcome to the Fifth Grade!

Dear Fifth Grader,
I am so excited to be welcoming you to Fifth Grade! Tuesday, We are going to have a fantastic year together!
I have spent the summer thinking about and putting together great projects, ideas, and units that we will spend the year exploring. So, to get your minds ready for this year, spend some time over these next few weeks thinking about how we can help make Fifth Grade a great year for you. What will your goals be? How can we work together to achieve them? These are some year-long conversations that we will begin as soon as you arrive in September. Don’t worry about not having answers to these questions right away! Our learning experiences and reflections will be our guides to an exciting and enriching year. Every new day or experience will be an opportunity to add something special to our class. While you are waiting for the first day of school to roll around, I hope that you are reading and practicing your addition, subtraction, division and multiplication facts!
On the first day of school please bring in a few books (2) that you read this summer.  Also, please bring three current pictures of yourself. 
I can’t wait for our first day together! 
These are the school supplies you will need if you haven’t ordered a PTA supply box:
  • Five marble composition books
  • Ten glue sticks
  • One box of colored pencils
  • One box of twistable crayons (crayons in a hard, twistable sleeve)
  • 50 pencils
  • 1 pink eraser
  • One box of tissues
  • Two yellow highlighters
  • Two packages of 3”x3” lined post-its
  • One blue two-pocket folder
  • 1 package of thin markers
  • 1 package of thick markers
Love,  
Mrs. Robert
