WOW......we are nearing the completion of the first HALF of the year! It;s hard to believe. It seems like we almost just got started. This is a terrific group of 5th grades who are working hard (and getting smarter).
My class theme is always "It's Up to You!" which stresses the importance of fifth graders taking personal responsibility for their actions, attitudes, and academics. Fifth grade is a special year and my hope is that each students always gives their "personal best."
Success.............................It's Up to You!
Good Grades......................It's Up to You!
Trustworthiness.................It's Up to You!
Responsibility..................It's Up to You!
Reaching Your Dreams....It's Up to You!

Fifth grade is a challenging year. Students need to be ready to move on to middle school by the end of the year and learning to take more responsibility is a major factor for continued success. I remind students often to "Make an Effort...not an excuse!"
Mr. Ollis
Remember, I tell students that "It's Up to You!"
If you want success....It's Up to You! If you want good grades.....It's Up to You!
If you want to be responsible.....It's Up to You! If you want to reach your dreams....It's Up to You!
