Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am excited to have
the opportunity to educate your child this year! I am Mrs. Laura Ryan, and I am thrilled to
be your child’s fifth-grade teacher at Shatekon. Our school is a fantastic
place to work, learn and play!
We will begin the year
by studying the foundation of our country’s government, reading The Bad
Beginning by Lemony Snicket, and forming our life as a writer. Other topics we will cover throughout the
year are geology, light, heat and changes, regions of the United States, Canada,
Latin America and current events.
Reading and writing
are vital to the lives of our students, and a great emphasis will be placed on
these subject areas this year. Of the
two composition notebooks to be purchased, one will be for reading and the
other for writing. Please have your
child bring in pictures, magazine clippings, stickers, letters, and anything
else they would like to use to personalize their notebooks. We will be completing this activity on Friday,
September 11, so it is necessary for your child to have these items. Also, if you are looking for book
recommendations, please check out my blogging website- www.bookswelovedreading.blogspot.com.
Your fifth-grader is
in for an exciting year filled with hands-on experiments, reading many
interesting and entertaining novels, writing numerous pieces, and learning the
skills needed to be successful in middle school. I am pleased to have the opportunity to enrich
the life of your child!
If you have any questions or concerns, please email me at
ryanlaur@shenet.org. You may also browse

Thank you for your support and cooperation. I look
forward to working with you and your child this year.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Ryan
