Fifth Grade Email Phone: 608.764.5442 Hello,
Welcome to Fifth Grade. My name is Mr. Smith, and I will be one of the fifth grade homeroom teachers this year. The other teachers will be Mrs. Jensen and Mrs. Wycklendt.
In science, we will be using Mystery Science to cover 5th grade curriculum. We will be studying, Web of Life; Watery Planet, Spaceship Earth and Chemical Magic.
In Math, we will be starting Illustrative Mathematics. I'm looking forward to teaching this new curriculum, as well as learning it with my students. We will also continue working on our math facts using the Prodigy and Reflex Math.
This year we will continue with our reading program, "ARC", American Reading Company. It incorporates large group reading lessons, with individual leveled reading chapter books. We are excited to continue this journey and are looking forward to getting all kids to enjoy reading!
I will share out our class schedule with you once I have it finalized. It will also be available here on my website.
I have been in Deerfield since August of 2000, and have enjoyed every bit of my experience here. I am looking forward to another great year and am excited about bringing in a new group of fifth graders.
If you need to contact me, the best way is through my email, smithr@deerfield.k12.wi.us. You can also reach me on the school phone, 608-764-5442 ext. 5227.
Sincerely,
Mr. Smith
