Overview

As a student in 5^th grade, you are expected to grow as a thinker, writer, reader, and learner. In order for you to grow, your best effort is expected! I will provide for you many opportunities to learn. You can check out what is happening in the classroom each day by going to our web page above. If you need to respond or ask questions use the email address above. If you email me after 8pm I will probably be resting or reading. You should be too. I’ll answer any questions the next day.

Materials
You are expected to be prepared to learn each day. You need to bring to school each day the things you know you need like your homework, reading book, and pencils and notebooks. You may leave in your desk the things we use in class. It might be useful for you to have a special spot at home to do your homework. Equip that spot with the materials you need each day.
Discipline Policy

You are expected to follow all the school rules as described in the student handbook. Poor choices on your part will be subject to appropriate consequences. My goal for you is to grow and learn in a healthy, safe, and secure classroom. The motto “Respect yourself, respect others, respect your environment and respect learning” is the guide.

Homework
You are expected to do homework! It will be assigned nightly. The planner, a study buddy and the class website above are resources you are expected to use to accomplish your homework. It will be evaluated based upon your best attempt and the evidence that proves you made your best attempt.

The following items are bonus point opportunities. Find the answers to the questions. Write your answers on WLP. Have fun exploring geography!

What are the New England states?
