Welcome to 5th Grade!
I'm excited to get to meet all of you this year. Highland may seem like a big step up from the comforts of BIS. Some of you may have a few butterflies about the upcoming school year, but rest assured that all of the fifth grade team will work together to make your first year at Highland a memorable one. We teachers know that this is a big change, so we're going to do whatever it takes to make this a smooth transition from BIS to Highland.
I am pleased to announce that you'll also be working with Mr. Merulli this year. He will teach ELA, which includes writing, reading, and English. Some of you may have had Mr. Merulli for third grade. In fifth grade, you will work with him for ELA and reading, and you'll work with me for math, science, and social studies. Mr. Merulli and I look forward to your arrival at Highland!
Enjoy these last few days of summer!
