My name is Mr. Hill and I am your
child’s teacher this year. My goal is to create an open conversation about your
student’s education so please feel free to contact me with any questions
related to school. My contact information is listed below and I prefer email
but and will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
I am one of three teachers that are
working in a team. Mrs. Underdahl, Mrs. Savage and I will be working together
to fulfill all the 5th grade academic requirements this year. We
will also be complemented by a fantastic group of art, P.E. and music teachers
I am excited to be working with your
child and I look forward to teaching science, social studies and reading this
year. Below is a link to the state website that shows Washington State
Standards. It has a lot of information and is searchable. In Science we are
currently transitioning into the Next Generation Science Standards.
Homework:
Although I won’t be assigning regular
homework for science or social studies, students will be expected to be reading
nightly. I suggest a minimum of 15 minutes and I expect that is pretty light
for most students. They will also be asked to fill out a short review for books
they read and I will require they turn one of these in per week.
My background is in business and design
so I hope to bring real world situations to every class period. I feel this
helps students to make connections to their future. I have my masters in
teaching from Willamette University in Oregon and am licensed to teach,
elementary education and both math and science at the middle school level.
Please check out this blog regularly for
classroom updates, student work and current events. The address is http://rooms306.blogspot.com.
Thank you for this opportunity to work with your child and I look forward to
hearing from you.
