Greetings families, and welcome to the digital home of 5S @ ACS.
Here you will find our online class newsletters, images and information from the classroom, and links to other places of interest for your and your 5th grader.
We've had a great first day, we are off and running (well, walking,actually...except on the field, the gym, the rooftop, and the basketball court) with a hero theme. Your child created a superhero today, and in the coming weeks we will be talking about what makes a hero and how ordinary people can be heroes, too. Feel free to email in a picture of your child doing something that makes you proud. It doesn't need to involve fighting crime or putting out fires—it might be reading to a younger sibling, keeping the neighborhood clean, or being a good friend to someone new in town.
Letters were sent home today, if you found this page I will assume the letter made it safely into your hands. Today's homework was to email me from your preferred email address so I have that on file. I'll be putting together a class email group shortly, and will use that to let you know when the blog is updated or if there is something important on the horizon. If there is anything you'd like me to know about your child, or if you have an area of expertise you'd like to share this year, feel free to let me know in the email.
Thank you for sharing your children with me. I'm fortunate to have such a great group of students in my classroom, and we've got a great year ahead of us.
Cheers!
Mr. Swinehart
