FifthGrade

Teacher:

Mrs. Marilyn Beaulier

By the time students are in fifth grade, they need to take more responsibility for their homework. They will be using agendas and learning good studying and note-taking habits. The habits they are continuing to form will carry them through to college. Keep encouraging them and allow them to show you some independence with ideas for homework, reading assignments and school projects.
