Welcome Letter

Welcome to 5th Grade!

In a few days, you will be starting 5th grade and your last year at Wickliffe! We are looking forward to the school year. We will be doing lots of fun projects and working hard, so we hope you’re ready!

We would like to let you know that you will have two teachers next year, but you are not in a job share classroom. Mrs. Slater and Mrs. McEvoy will be your teachers. We will both be teaching and learning together with you ~ all day, every day! We are very excited to be teaching together in the same classroom. Our classroom is room 211, around the corner from the top of the main stairs. We have both taught at Wickliffe for a long time.

To begin the school year, we would like you to bring some artifacts that represent you and that tell us something about yourself. If you are not sure what an artifact is, just bring some objects that tell something about you. There are two requirements for these artifacts. First, that each artifact fits into a sandwich size plastic bag. It could be a photograph, souvenir from somewhere you’ve been or an object that represents something you love or like to do - anything you can think of that will help us learn something about you. Please make sure these objects aren’t too large and also make sure it is something you can part with. Please don’t bring in a very special piece of jewelry, something very valuable to you or a special trinket from someone. We are going to use these for an art collage and they will get glue on them. We will talk about this more on the first day of school, but you can start thinking about your artifacts now.

We are looking forward to meeting you soon! It’s okay if you are a little nervous, we will be, too, but we are very excited to meet you and start the year! Enjoy the rest of the summer and we'll see you in a few days!

Get ready to have some fun and work hard! See you soon!

Love,

Mrs. McEvoy and Mrs. Slater
