Welcome to 5th grade with THE FJ CREW!
We are delighted to be your child’s virtual teacher beginning Monday, April 12th. This email contains important information to prepare your family for the continued virtual environment. Please read carefully and do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. Below are some nuts and bolts about our class once we are together, but some main items are listed below. Be sure to read this thoroughly as the information is very important. 1. Rosters: You may be wondering about rosters. Unfortunately the school does not permit roster distribution. 2. FJ CREW / Schedule: Mr. Eddie Johnson and I will be teaming up - so Welcome to the FJs (Ferguson-Johnson). I will teach Math and Science. He will teach ELA and Social Studies. Therefore, our schedule is going be split right down the middle - students will spend 90 minutes with each of us. We have inserted a 5 minute transition time (for bathroom, snack, water) just as we would do in school. There will also be different activities during the time with each teacher. The schedule will mirror the in-person schedule as is as follows:
3. Bookmark this webpage. I'll use it to post our class weekly newsletter for our homeroom time as well as Math and Science information. You can find it at https://msmferguson.weebly.com/ . You can also get there from the FAVE staff directory. Mr. Johnson's webpage is http://fave5thgradeallstars.weebly.com/. You can explore our class pages to learn about more about us and about the work our class has been doing since January. It will also give you an idea of how our classes are structured. 4. Getting to know each other: As I'm sure you're aware, it will take a little time for us all to get used to each other. Please extend the process some grace as we begin to build our community. I promise that we have spoken with original homeroom teachers and they will bring us up to speed. 5. Expectations: Expect to reset expectations. This means that we may have different agreements than those students may have had with their previous teacher. But that is ok! I'm sure each student will bring details of their experience that has shaped their perspective (see what I did there IB learners!) FAQs
Best, Ms. Ferguson & Mr. Johnson
