Teacher Info
 Teacher Trisha Vega - Fifth Grade (Send e-mail)
Welcome and thank you for checking this page! I will be updating this page weekly so check back often for updates and important information. Feel free to also sign up for text blasts through Remind info below.
Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week students in my class will participate in benchmark screenings provided by FastBridge Learning. FastBridge is District 157-C’s new screening instrument that will take the place of AIMSweb. Similarly to AIMSweb, this assessment will be provided in the fall, winter and spring to help teachers determine which students are likely to meet the end of the year learning goals and which students may require intervention. This computer based assessment measures performance in reading and math. The district will be providing training to all teachers on score interpretation. More information will be forthcoming to parents. I look forward to working with your child this school year.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vega

MATH-EUREKA
We have a new math curriculum this year using the Eureka Modules. Students will also be using ZEARN daily in math.
READING AT HOME
Is reading part of your family's daily routine? Reading is the most important skill because it is the basis for learning throughout the school day. Reading takes practice. Make reading a part of your family's daily routine.
*Read every night with your child or along side your child.
*Ask your child to occasionally read aloud and listen to how they're able to read with fluency-expression, accuracy, rate, phrasing, and punctuation.
*We will be working on reading more fluently in the classroom with weekly goals. What will be your child's goal this week?
E.L.A. READING LOG
*Our fifth grade homework expectation of students is to read a minimum of 80 minutes per week. The students are working on weekly reading goals. Can you exceed the expectation?
TECHNOLOGY- 5th Graders are now 1:1 using Lenovo Laptops. Students have received their Microsfodt 365 accounts and can login from home or on anything with internet connection. We will be using technology all throughout our curriculum.
Muisc/Band/Orchestra will be on G-Days for our classroom. Please be sure your child has their instrument for their sectional on these days. See TIGER calendar link below or under downloads.
LIBRARY-We will be going to the library on E-days
