Dear 5th Graders and Families,
We hope everyone had a great long, Labor Day weekend. Thanks to all who sold Entertainment Books. This fundraiser will benefit our 5th grade fund to help with field trips and other fun activities. If you do not wish to purchase your book, please remember to return it to school this week. Also, if you have not paid the $9 fee money to purchase Weekly Reader News and student planners, we would greatly appreciate it if you could send that in this week as well. Thank you!
Below you will find your homework for this shortened week. Everything is due on Friday so be sure to budget your time accordingly. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great week! J

About Me

My photo
Welcome to the 2013-2014 school year! I am so happy and grateful to be a part of the Buffalo Trail community and especially the wonderful 5th grade team. This is my 2nd year at BTE and my 12th year of teaching. I have taught 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades in Kentucky and Colorado. Before moving to Denver three years ago, I lived in Northern Kentucky near Cincinnati, Ohio. I earned a BS from the University of Kentucky and my MAT from the University of Louisville. In 2007, I became a National Board Certified Teacher with an emphasis in Early/Middle Childhood Reading and Language Arts. In my free time, I love to read, ride my bike, try new restaurants, and go to concerts/sports events. I love cheering my teams on during basketball season, hiking, and skiing. I am loving Colorful Colorado and look forward to our new adventures together!
