Welcome to
Ms. Frew's
Classroom Website!
Welcome! It is a privilege for me to have the opportunity to teach your child. Fifth grade is such an exciting year, and the children are enthusiastic about learning!
My classroom policies and procedures can be found on this website.
Student Success
Student success is directly related to effective communication between parents and teachers. Should you have any questions, concerns, or comments, please feel free to contact me. Click here to e-mail me. You can also reach me via phone and leave a voicemail at any time. My direct voicemail number is 226-8399. However, it is important for you to know that I may not get an opportunity to check my messages until the end of the school day. Therefore, please call the office at 364-3600 if your call requires immediate attention.
Schedule
Students will be allowed to bring a snack to have for the mid-morning. Only HEALTHY snacks on the district guidelines will be allowed (i.e. fruits or vegetables). Please do not send chips, cookies, or candy for snack time as students will not be able to have it in the classroom. Lunch is from 11:00 to 11:30.

Our library times will be flexible. We will go to the media center every month for library skills with our media center specialist, Ms. Vint. In addition, we will participate in various research projects throughout the year. Students will be allowed to go to the library to check out books and take AR quizzes during silent reading as well as during their free time.

Homework
You can expect your child to have no more than 50 minutes of homework each night. Of course, this will vary from day to day. However, next to each assignment I have the children write down an approximate time of about how many minutes each particular assignment should take them to complete at home. I have found this to be quite helpful for everyone involved! :) If your child is taking more than an hour to complete assignments regularly, please contact me as soon as possible. I can imagine how frustrating that must be, and will work to solve the problem right away.
