Welcome back to another school year!  I am happy to have your child in my class and I look forward to working together with you during the upcoming year.  This year in 5th grade your child will explore America and its rich history, geography and culture.  Our year-long journey through America will be accomplished with integrated activities in reading, writing, mathematics, science, and visual and performing arts.

            Please help your child have a successful year by carefully reading all correspondences and responding promptly to forms, notes home, phone calls, etc.  In addtion, you can assist your child by providing them with a quiet, undisturbed place to work on their homework each night.  You will receive more extensive information on classroom schedules, policies, homework, and curriculum at Back-to-School Night on September 18.

Be sure to check out our outstanding McKinley web site at: http://www.mckinleyschool.net  On our class page, you can find updated homework assignemnts as well as pictures, samples of student work, and important announcements.
