Welcome to Fifth Grade!  

The first day of school will be a half day, Tuesday, August 17.  

 

Dear Parents, 

I look forward to the 2010-2011 upcoming school year!  In fifth grade at Herington Elementary, there are many things going on.  Fifth graders participate in the Accelerated Reader and Math Facts in a Flash programs, which they will be familiar with if they attended Herington Elementary as a fourth grader.  In fifth grade, we will take both Reading and Math State Assessments in the spring - this year, there will also be the State Writing Assessment!  As you can probably tell, we will have a LOT to learn this upcoming year!  To help prepare your student for the fifth grade, I encourage students to continue reading throughout the summer and practicing basic math facts (especially multiplication and division!).  "Brushing up" on these skills a few times a week will make the start of the year go much smoother!

Looking forward to meeting all of you in August, 

Mrs. Bettles
