5th
Grade Weekly Update
Dear Parents,
Welcome once
again to the new school year and to Grade 5 at HIS.
The first two
weeks have been spent familiarizing the students with our routines in Grade 5.
We have worked together to ensure that every student is aware of the need for
organization at this level and the students have done well to adapt to the new
system.
It has been good
to see the level of interest in learning exhibited by each of the students so
far and I have certainly enjoyed getting to know them better since the start of
the school year. Now that our initial diagnostic and formative assessments are
mostly completed, I am happy for us to start tackling the curriculum in a more
in-depth fashion and I look forward to all of the work the students will
produce in the coming year.
