Welcome to fifth grade! In our class, students must do two things to succeed: work hard and be nice. My goal is for each of the students in my class to develop responsibility and respect for themselves, and their community to become productive citizens. I believe that developing these qualities will allow students to achieve continued success as they grow through adolescence into young adulthood. Although good student conduct is often praised, we do not use a reward system to promote good behavior. I want students to make good choices for the sake of being responsible and respectful, not because they hope to gain anything, such as extra recess, for it.
