Welcome to Ms. Grady's 5th grade classroom! //This year you will be expected to learn a gamut of information. To help you do this, I will be posting various assignments and messages that will help you accomplish that goal. This page is meant to introduce you to our world.//

**Ms. Grady** What do you want to know about Ms. Grady?

Ms. Grady has been at Jefferson for a while now........Hmm! 8-9 years! Time flies when you are doing something that you love with a passion! I believe that all children deserve the best education that I can help them attain. Each child is unique and has their own special needs, therefore I may need to do something different for you that I do for someone else in our classroom.

I was fortunate to be a "stay at home mom" prior to going back to school and recertifying in my current elementary teaching degree. I have 2 sons of my own. Michael is now married to a kindergarden teacher in the Sheboygan School District. He works as a chemist with Sigma-Aldrich, a drug producing company, in Sheboygan. Robert is a mechanic at Vande Hey Brantmeier in Chilton.

I am known as the "late night" person in our building. You may look up and see the lights on in my room, if you are walking by after supper. Should you forget your assignments, it could be possible to call from beneath my window. If I hear you, I have been known to come down, open the door, help you get your "forgotten" materials, so that you can get your homework assignments done promptly. Or! You may call the phone number to my room from you cell! The number there is 683-4853 extension 5327. Don't hestitate!

A Great Big Welcome! It is with pleasure that we welcome Ms. Christman into our classroom this year. She has been studying at the UW-GB and will be doing her student teaching in our classroom for the first semester. We will get to know her well!

Patrol This is the year 5th graders gain tons of responsibility. The first offering is to become a patrol. To become a patrol, you need to get your permission slip in. Our class will have 3 months of active duty. We will create a calender,so that you know which weeks/months you are on patrol. The reward at the end of the year is a picnic, with free food, games and prizes.

Band or Orchestra Now is the time to build your musical expertise! You will be able to learn to play an instrument this year. You may join the band or the orchestra. Meetings will be held soon. Our music teachers will meet with you to audition for instruments. Once it is determined what your mouth/hands/desires best meet you, lessons will begin. Lessons are held once/week for 20-30 minutes. In addition to that you have large group once/week before school. All that work leads to several concerts during the year. Plan to join the fun!
