To be a successful learner, students must come to school prepared. In 5th grade, this involves a few simple things.....
Those all may seem like obvious suggestions, but it amazes me on a daily basis how many students share that they stay up late and don't eat. If that occurs on a regular basis, how can we possibly expect them to be successful in the classroom?
- Having had a good night's sleep.
- Having had some nourishment in the morning. Feed your body to be able to feed your brain.
- Making sure you have all your supplies with you! You will need access to supplies at school and each home that you will be completing school work at.
- Bringing a great attitude. We know that in finding success, a huge determiner is attitude. Keeping a positive attitude always makes the task easier!

Students should also always be prepared to be a student:
Books should ALWAYS be covered with either a cloth cover or a paper bag!!!!
