Welcome To Our Blog!

Welcome Fifth grade parents and students! This blog has been created to keep both parents and students informed of daily homework assignments. I will update it each evening with the assignments for the evening. I will also add some simple reminders for field trips and important events when needed.

Following spring break, I will no longer be checking each students planner for parent signatures. My intention is that this blog will be used to keep students accountable, while fostering independence and accountability. I encourage you to become a follower to have email notifications sent to your inbox!

Thank you,
Mrs. Kraft
