Fifth Grade

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to fifth grade at Oakview Preparatory Seventh-Day Adventist School! I am honored to be your child's teacher this year and am excited about all that we will accomplish together. Fifth grade is a bridge year — a time when students consolidate their elementary skills and begin preparing for the challenges of middle school. We will focus on advanced reading comprehension, persuasive and expository writing, pre-algebra concepts, and in-depth science and social studies investigations. I believe that every child has the potential to excel when they are supported, challenged, and encouraged. I am committed to providing a learning environment that meets each student where they are and helps them grow academically, socially, and spiritually. Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. Spelling tests are held every Friday. Book reports are due on the 15th and 30th of each month. Students are expected to participate in all school activities and to represent Oakview Preparatory with pride. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to partnering with you to make this an outstanding year for your child. God bless you.
