The last three days were fun! Students had the chance to get to know me and each other better. The hiring of a new 5th grade teacher today caused both excitement and anguish for students, teachers, and parents. Having 40 students in 5th grade classes would not have been in the best interest of students. We welcome Mrs. Hill to our team, knowing she is a seasoned teacher very familiar with 5th grade curriculum.
I will begin teaching Utah State Core Curriculum next Monday. Homework will be given each night, Monday through Thursday. In addition, I will start administering the Directed Reading Assessment (DRA) to help determine your child's reading level and needs. If there is a concern, I'll be in touch with you to formulate a plan for advancement of reading and comprehension skills.
