Gorrie Walk-A Thon

Here is information about registering your child(ren) for this year's walk-a-thon to raise funds for our school. Everything can be done online this year, and it will take very little of your time. 

To register, go here: gorrie.dojiggy.com

Once registered, send the link found at the bottom right of your child's web page to family and friends to ask for donations. You can also post directly on facebook and other social media sites. It looks like this:

If any family/business is interested in a sponsorship, there are several opportunities on their child's fundraising page. Simply click on the 'donate now' on your child's page and select the sponsorship of your choice. Sponsorships start at $200, which lists your family name on the official walk-a-thon t-shirt. Sponsorships are due by October 11th to allow time for printing.

More details about registration can be found here: https://smore.com/xwjn

Update

Good morning! Please be sure to check the "Announcements" tab for upcoming events, assignments and  tests. The students are doing a great job so far with the transition into 5th grade and I look forward to a wonderful year of growth and maturity. Please let me know if you have any questions! Thanks!

Update on Supplies

It has been brought to my attention that an important supply was left off of this year's supply list. Please have your child bring in a 2 inch, 3 ring binder or trapper keeper to store all of their supplies for class. In the past, this important item has been wonderful in preparing students for middle school and supporting them in keeping their materials organized. Please have your child bring this in when they come to school this week. Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Class Schedule

Happy Saturday Everyone! I hope you are ALL out enjoying the beautiful weather here in Tampa today! I wanted to let you know that I have uploaded our class schedule under the "Schedule" tab, so check it out to see what we will be up to each day! I look forward to seeing you ALL this week! We are going to have an AWESOME year!

Welcome Back 2013

Hello! Welcome to our class blog! This website it used as a tool to communicate our studies, achievements, homework assignments, important dates, etc. to students, family, and friends. I update this site on a regular basis by posting pictures of what the students are working on as well as what is going on in our classroom. I look forward to meeting you all at Meet The Teacher on Monday, August 19th, 2013 immediately following the Info Fair! I have been working hard to get our classroom ready for your arrival! Please collect all of your supplies and bring them to school on our first day. Feel free to look around on our class blog to see what we will be working on this year. See you at Meet The Teacher!
