Transitions

-In 5D, we have been working really hard at transitioning in a timely and safe manner

-Any support you can give at home to help your child transition would be greatly appreciated

-I’ve done a lot of work around focusing students to work down a checklist to completion

-THANK YOU for any help!  This will greatly help them in their future!

5D is helping a family in need (in lieu of any teacher holiday gifts, please)

Elisa Barney and Lisa Lombardi will be contacting you about an 8 year old in need.  I will be sharing a document that we share with two other classes to help out the mom/dad of this family.  Please sign up for any item you’d like to get. All items are due by 12/19 UNWRAPPED. Your child can bring them to me and I’ll keep them safe until then.  THANK YOU!!!! You have no idea how much this means to me!
