This letter was included in you Meet the Teacher packet, but I wanted to post it on the blog in case it was lost in the shuffle or you were not able to attend.
Enjoy your weekend!
Dear
Fifth Grade Families,
We
are happy to officially announce that we will be starting something new and
exciting this year in fifth grade. After
observing our students and gaining a deeper understanding of what the
transition to Prep entails, we will be giving the fifth graders an opportunity
to learn from all three lead teachers on our team.
Mrs.
Lynch will be teaching Science, Mrs. Stapleton (formerly known as Ms.
Prestipino J)
will be teaching History, and Mrs. Anderson will be teaching Grammar and
Writing. Spalding, Literature, Math,
Greek and Latin Roots, Poetry, and Idioms will be taught in the student’s
homeroom class. We see several benefits
to this method of teaching including the opportunity for more movement
throughout the day, adjusting to multiple teachers and environments, and teaching
greater personal responsibility. Our
ultimate goal is to help create a more seamless and stress free transition to
sixth grade!
The
block of time set aside each day for our class rotations is 10:00am to 12:00pm
Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays.
On Wednesdays all subjects will be taught in the homeroom class.
We
will be sharing more detailed information regarding the details of block scheduling
on Curriculum Night, but please let us know if you have any questions or
concerns until then. We are very excited to start this new venture with your
scholars and look forward to watching each one grow in their pursuit of truth,
beauty and knowledge.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lynch, Mrs. Stapleton, and Mrs. Anderson
