Welcome Letter

Dear Team Member,
I hope you are having a restful and relaxing summer because fifth grade will be a busy and exciting year! I am thrilled about the opportunity to get to know you, and I am looking forward to a happy and productive school year. This year we will work hard AND have tons of fun!
This is will be my 9th year teaching in room 105 at Crisafulli. Along with teaching I also am co-advisor of the student council and I direct the fifth grade play, (no hints on this year's play just yet). I enjoy integrating the arts and technology into the classroom and learning new ideas from my students. Our classroom website will be a place for us to share ideas and collaborate throughout the year. This will be a great tool to keep up with current events and homework in the classroom. Please take a moment to fill in a quick survey to help me prepare for the school year. Parent Survey / Student Survey

Our main focus this year will be on building a community within room 105. Through Team 105 meetings, cooperative activities and discussions, we will become a team of students with whom you can feel safe to share your ideas, concerns and talents.


I am getting anxious to begin our school year and I’m sure you have lots of questions about how to be ready for the fifth grade. All you will need for the first day of school is a healthy snack and a smile. We will spend most of our time getting to know each other and our classroom: room 105. During the first two weeks of school you will be working on an in class book project. You can choose any book that you read over the summer no need to read a special book.


There is no need to bring any personal supplies this year. Everything that I expect you to use this year including pencil box, binder, and notebooks will be provided for you when you get to the classroom.

I would love the opportunity to meet you before the start of school. I will be in room 105 during the open house on Thursday August 27th from 10:30 - 12:00. Please stop by to say hi!



Sincerely,
Ms. Moores
