Habits Again... They are super important!


7 Habits


Welcome to 5th Grade!

This blog does not require a password for you, your parents, or even your grandparents. Anyone who has the address can view the fun sites I'll be placing on here for you.
I will also put your vocabulary/spelling lists on here for easy access. This is not where you will find your homework assignments. They will, or should be located in your planner. ;)
To access sites just click on the address. Sometimes games will not play on IPads and IPhones. You should be able to play them on your laptops or home computers.
There will be times I will post an assignment on here with directions to be done at home or in the computer lab. You will be reminded to place any homework in your planner. :) Planner, Planner, Planner
I'm very excited to teach all new material to you this year! I'm sure we are going to make it a GREAT one!
