Dear Incoming Fifth Graders,                       August 2025

        Welcome, welcome, welcome!  I am your fifth grade homeroom teacher, Mrs. Shannon.

I am so excited to have you be a part of our fifth grade team, and I am already getting ready for what is sure to be an exciting new school year filled with fun, laughter and of course, learning!  I look forward to seeing you again and getting to know each and every one of you!

        I know that you may be excited and a little bit nervous about the new school year…that is completely natural, especially since this school year will be quite different from past years. Please don't worry, we will get through this together. I am here to guide you, help you and teach you the very best I can! I included a list of class supplies that will help with your learning this year. It may look like a lot, however, unfortunately, everyone needs their own set of supplies to keep in their desks. Check out the list at the end of the letter.

 I hope all of you enjoy the rest of your summer with your family and friends.Be sure to take some time to rest, relax and have some fun.

I am very excited for a new school year.See you soon!

Sincerely,

Your Fifth Grade Homeroom Teacher,

Mrs. Shannon 

 

 Fifth Grade…Leading the way to an awesome school year at OFRS!
