• Dear Parents and 5th Graders,

    Welcome to Fifth Grade! I am looking forward to a great year! The most important “back to school supplies” that you will need this year are a positive attitude and an excitement to learn. 

    ·         pencils

    ·         erasers

    ·         earbuds or headphones  

    ·         binder

    .         highlighters

    ·         colored pencils

    ·         box of tissues for the classroom

    .         notebook

     

    I look forward to teaching social studies to your child. 

    Students will be given time to complete assignments during class, but due to the vast curriculum requirements, it will sometimes be necessary to complete assignments at home (YES...HOMEWORK!) It is my goal to prepare your child for 6thgrade. I cannot do that without occasional homework.

    All daily assignments are due the morning after they are given.  If a student is absent, he/she will have until the next day to hand in completed work. When absent, I encourage you to log in to our Google classroom to see what you have missed for the day. 

    Your child will know in advance when a chapter or unit test will be administered. 

    We will have planners in 5thgrade. The purpose of the planners is to help your child become organized and responsible for completing daily and weekly tasks. The planners are also a good tool for parent/teacher communication. It is your child's responsibility to make sure the planner is filled out and signed daily.

    Personal electronic devices are not allowed between the hours of 7:00am and 3:00 pm. 

    We follow the 4 B's at SAMS: Be safe, Be responsible, Be respectful, and Be ready to learn.

    I look forward to a great year! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. I check my email and phone messages regularly throughout the day. A 24 hour response time is a SAMS building wide  expectation.

     

    Thank you,

     

    Mrs. Hutchinson
