Students Need Sleep to Grow & Learn

Is your student getting enough sleep?


To help you and your student have a PHENOMENAL Back to School experience, this week start to get your child to bed sooner.  Perhaps, one hour earlier a day until you reach the optimum time. 

Trust me, you'll want them wide-eyed and bushy-tailed for the first day of school and beyond. My classroom is a bevy of learning activity!

This coming 5th grade year is going to be a year like your student has never experienced before!  Don't worry, this is in a good way, but they will need to be energized to be fully engaged.

Here's a visual guide of the PHENOMENAL 5th grade student supply list items that you may have questions about - brand names DO NOT matter, except for Ticonderoga pencils and Post-It Notes:

This is the Bible version we use
Your student needs 2 of them
1 inch 3 ring binder-Any color

2 pocket PLASTIC folder

Ticonderoga pencils work best - they don't break
40 sharpened pencils

White erasers are best
Pink erasers don't erase well & tear paper

PHENOMENAL Year Ahead!



I want to create a place that parents can check BEFORE school begins to find out about what a PHENOMENAL 5th grade year, their child is in for!
