Dear 5th
Graders, Welcome back! It is so exciting to be here today. After 5 days away at 5th Grade
Camp, I hope you are relaxed but ready to work hard. I’m sure you have many questions. Some of them may include: When will we
switch jobs? When do we get paid? Are we changing seats? Please be patient as we adjust to being back at
school. Your questions will be
answered throughout the week. We can’t
do everything in one day. Please read
through the Daily Plans for today so you know what to expect. If there are any links provided, DO NOT CLICK ON THEM until given permission to do so. Please complete each step in the Morning
Procedures section below. Make it a great day by listening to your teacher, following
directions the first time given, and by respecting others at Dardenne. Together, we can make this a safe and
comfortable place to learn. J
Sincerely, |
