August, 2015 Dear Churchville Parents: Welcome to Fifth Grade! This year your child will be experiencing many new adventures through his/her learning. I am looking forward to a great year working with and getting to know your child. My classroom, “Churchville,” is set up to allow the children to feel very comfortable and enjoy learning in a non-threatening environment. We will grow together to achieve our high academic goals cooperatively. Our class will be striving for responsibility, kindness, consideration, and caring about others. Daily, your child will be responsible for completing his/her assignment notebook. It will list any incomplete assignments to be finished at home and also long-term projects and tests. I expect homework assignments to be done neatly and on time. The assignment notebook should be signed on a daily basis to verify that your child has completed all of his/her assignments. Their assignment notebooks will be useful in assuring and rewarding your child for completed work. Graded assignments and parent informational letters will be sent home periodically to allow you to share in our learning experiences. I appreciate your concern and cooperation in these areas. Please feel free to contact me at school. I am very proud of my classroom and my students. I look forward to meeting you at Curriculum Night on Tuesday, September 1st. Sincerely, Miss Church (Mayor of Churchville) Email: cathy.church@lz95.org voicemail: (847) 719-3520
