Dear Future Fifth Graders,

Welcome to Room 301! My name is Mrs. Talarick, and I am so excited to be your teacher this year. We will also have Ms. Lewis as a second teacher in our room. She and I have been busy planning fun surprises for our first few days together! We are going to have so much fun.

This summer, my family and I visited Maine for our annual trip. Tieghan swam in the lake and even caught a frog. We went out on the boat during the day, and spent our evenings doing puzzles and playing board games. My favorite game was Jenga, and Tieghan really enjoys the game Spot it! Do you have a favorite game to play with your family? I hope you can tell me all about it when I see you. 

I will be teaching reading, writing, and Fundations this year. Our classroom, Room 301, is located upstairs in the fifth grade hallway. There are so many exciting things to look forward to in fifth grade. The fifth grade team created this helpful guide to prepare you for your exciting year ahead!

To help me get to know you better before the first day of school, please complete the survey linked at the bottom of this page. I am looking forward to a fantastic year together!

See you soon,

Mrs. Talarick
