Welcome to Miss Koval’s 5^th Grade Notes Page

~June~

I can not believe it is June already!  I guess time does fly when you’re having fun!  As the Third Trimester comes to an end, everyone will soon be on their way to the Aquinas School at A.M.B.S.!  If we all take what we have learned this year, and move forward, we can become better people, which will create a better community, and will then make our world a better place to live in… one step at a time!                    

We are all maturing quite nicely, and really proving ourselves to be independent, hard-working individuals!  I have been placing MUCH more responsibility in the hands of your children as they grow as 5^th graders.  MUCH more is expected of them, knowing what each of my students is capable of.  Every day is an experience in itself to welcome new ideas, new knowledge, and most importantly excitement to the learning process.  I want us all to keep up the great work in terms of putting forth immense effort and remaining responsible throughout each and every day.  Being on time, prepared, and ready to work at all times is a necessary part of learning, and I believe most have these skills down to a science!  I expect ALL students to show acts of respect towards each other and themselves at ALL times.  This will allow for a comfortable and conducive learning environment.  I will be posting weekly spelling and vocabulary words for your convenience, along with tests, quizzes, and other important dates, however, it is important to check your child’s Assignment Pad nightly.  Students will be solely responsible for copying their homework in each class throughout the course of the day.  Homework must be completed on a regular basis.  Each day brings new excitement into our lives!

Please remember if you have any questions during the year feel free to contact me at school or through e-mail at kkoval@rcmbs.org.

 

Sincerely,

Miss Koval
