Welcome to 5th Grade!!

Welcome to Miss Payne's class blog! Please CHECK THE BLOG EVERY NIGHT for updated information on homework, classroom news, and upcoming events.

It's hard to believe the summer break is over and school is starting again! I'm looking forward to a fabulous year in 5th grade.

One of my favorite things about 5th grade is the opportunity we have to study United States history. It is fascinating to study the events and people that have shaped our nation and see how much they have influenced us today.

Students: I have heard great things about this A Track class, and I look forward to getting to know each one of you and your families. It was so fun to visit you in Mrs. Dabb's class last year. I think we will have a lot of fun together.

Parents: I would love to have you in the classroom as much as possible. I truly believe that parent involvement is an important factor in a child's education. The National Education Association says that "When parents are involved in their children's education, kids do better in school." For more information on the research and ideas of how to get involved, check out the NEA website:

Students and parents: If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

My contact information is always available here on the blog (top right corner). And here it is again:
