It was great to see so many parents at Parent Night. I hope you were able to get a peek into what a day in fifth grade looks like. Please let me know if you have any questions about the upcoming year.
A few reminders-
*The best way to contact me is by email at [email protected], I am busy working with students and may not be able to answer the phone.
* Independent and Responsible are the words to describe fifth graders. Please assist your child but don't rush to rescue. The mistakes and consequences in fifth grade are pretty minor and will help them learn along the way and become more independent and responsible.
*Look over the planner daily and check in with your child. If your child struggles to complete homework/daily class work we will set up a more structured check in system between student/parent/teacher.
*Students are excited to blog and document their learning. Check out your child's blog by clicking on their name. Please comment on their learning!

Our student council candidates had awesome speeches, presenting their vision for LJA and why they would make a great representative. I was impressed with their confidence, enthusiasm and passion! I just wish there were enough representative spots for all of them...
Next week Ms. Shigehara will announce the two boys and two girls that will represent our class.
