Welcome Parents and Students!
Much is happening in fifth grade at C.C. Hardy. We are reading up a storm as a class and in groups. Currently the kids are working on "story-mapping" their novels. Please ask them frequently what they are reading and ask them to retell the stories to you. This will help them to set a purpose for their reading!

This year my students will  always be working on improving their decoding and spelling skills, while also learning strategies for comprehension. Soon we will beginning a class novel, The Great Gilly Hopkins. Feel free to purchase this book for your child so that they can do some reading at home as well.

Please remember that I am always happy to discuss any concerns you have...I am only an e-mail or phone call away. Your child is precious to me, and I make their success MY business! Together, we can achieve much!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Bolton
