Welcome back to school! I am looking forward to an exciting year. This is my first year using a classroom blog. I hope that it will be a useful tool for all of us. Please check the blog once a week for important announcements and calendar items. I will also be uploading pictures of activities we will be doing throughout the year.

This year we will be implementing the Math Common Core to our curriculum. If you would like to learn more about the Common Core click on the following link: elemmath.jordandistrict.org This is a very useful site that the district has put together to help you understand what you will be learning this year.

 The fifth grade team has decided to integrate social studies and science into language arts this year. Much of your vocabulary and language arts assignments will have to do with social studies or science. Doing this will make it possible for us to make sure you learn everything you need to learn this year.

 ** August 16th from 4:00-5:00 is our Back to School Night/Open House. You will be able to find me in the gym. (Our classroom will not be available).

** First Day of school is August 20th. Remember to check the school blog for a list of supplies:butterfieldcanyon.blogspot.com

I am so excited to meet all of you.


This is our classroom calendar.  This is a good way to stay up to date on assignments and upcoming events.  Make sure to check it at least once a week.
