Welcome!

   Welcome to 5th grade and our classroom's web page.  I am very excited 
about the new year and look forward to working with you and your child.  My 
hope is that this web page may serve as an added form of communication 
between school and home.  I hope that you find this web page easy to navigate 
with useful information that may help both you and your child maintain a 
successful and enjoyable school year.  
  There are several pages that will remain under constant construction.  For 
example, both the Language Arts and Social Studies pages will be altered 
daily due to constantly changing assignments.  These two pages will be used 
primarily for long-term assignments and updates as to what is being learned 
in both subject areas.  
  The Grades page will also be changing as the year goes on.  This page will 
allow you and your son/daughter access to his/her grades on the internet.  I 
will change the grades eight times during year, at mid-terms and at the end 
of each quarter.  In order to access the grades, you will be asked to enter a 
pre-determined identification code.  Once that code is chosen, access to your 
son/daughter's grades will be totally confidential.  
  If you come across a page that appears confusing, have any suggestions or 
comments, please do not hesitate to e-mail me.  The email button on the 
homepage will instantly connect you to a pre-addressed e-mail.  I hope you 
will be able to take a moment with your son/daughter to surf through the 
site.  It is my hope that this will become a wonderful resource in both our 
classrooms and in your homes.

     Mrs. Silasiri
