Dear New Fifth Grader....
Students from 2013-2014 have written welcome letters to the new fifth graders, 2014-2015. These letters highlight what they liked best about fifth grade. A selection of them are posted here.
Dear New Fifth Grader,
Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is really fun because of all the fun activities you will do.
You will like going to the science museum and learning all about the human body. You will also like P.E. because of the fun sports you will do. My favorite thing this year was the Jaguar Jamboree and the dunk tank there.

Dear New Fifth Grader,
Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is full of a lot of new things to learn. You will have a field day and you will take field trips. Here, you will learn two different languages, French and Spanish. You can also join Clubs/ band or chorus, vocal workshop. You will also have popcorn and ice cream. I think you will enjoy being in Mr. Sawyer's class

Dear New Fifth Grader,
Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is so much fun because you get to go to the Boston Museum of Science. It is fun because you get to taste things.
You will like Mr. Sawyer because if you behave, you get a popsicle. You will also like that sometimes at the end of the month your whole PLT gets to watch a movie, but that's only if you behave.
If you don't want to do an instrument in music you orget to be with Mr. Moore. He does so many fun things like if you behave you get a sticker and if you get six stickers you get to play a game of your choice. In Spanish you have Mrs. Harper (Senor Harper) give you chili bucks if you help her, and sometimes you can trade them for fun activities.

Dear New Fifth Grader,
Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is fun but you have to be serious because you have to get all your assignments done or your grades will go down. You will really like the field trips, chess, and Jaguar Jamboree. You can also do band and chorus. If you think you are good at singing you could do Vocal Workshop. That is what I like about fifth grade.

Dear New Fifth Grader,
Welcome to fifth grade! Fifth grade is really fun because you get to do Spanish and French as a special. In Spanish you get to do this thing called Chili Bucks. I had lots of fun watching movies with my PLT almost every two months. If you are interested in playing an instrument you should do band. I you don't do band you will be able to do music with Mr. Moore. He's so awesome. You will love Mrs. Goodman. She teaches social studies. We had so much fun this year with all the projects we had done. I loved Jaguar Jamboree. It was so fun. Yes, there is actually a dunk the teacher tank. It was funny. We had lots of field trips counting all the assemblies and people who came to our school. I think you will have a great year. Enjoy Mr. Sawyer. He plays the banjo every Friday.
From,
Maddie
