ST. MICHAEL'S SCHOOL

Welcome to the 5th and 6th grade Math and Social Studies classroom!

My name is Mrs. Thibault and I will have the privilege of working with your child this academic year. The students are considered to be part of our middle school community and enjoy the opportunity to experience the curriculum implemented  through team teaching. I work closely with Mr. Marek to ensure that the students are receiving a well rounded education. The fifth graders will receive instruction in math, social studies and religion in the homeroom classroom. They will then be taught ELA and science by Mr. Marek. The sixth grade students will also receive math and social studies instruction in my classroom. The curriculum follows the diocesan and state guidelines. This year proves to be crucial in mastering the basic skills and applying them to problem solve, preparing students for algebraic concepts when they are enrolled in the upper grades.

Our schedule allows students to receive additional instruction time in math and English Language Arts to ensure students deepen their understanding of the subject matter. Learning takes place in the classroom and outside the classroom, therefore students are encouraged to apply the skills they have learned to the real world situations. Students need to develop good study habits and prepare for assessments. It is vital that students complete both classwork and homework daily.  The assignments are intended  to  compliment the class instruction and reinforce important skills students need to succeed, such as problem solving, critical thinking, reading comprehension and identifying main ideas and points of view. 

As a Catholic school, we strive each day to not only teach Catholic doctrine, but to deepen the faith of our students. Students are expected to lead a life of virtue both inside and outside the classroom. We foster their respect for human dignity and the need to live out the Catholic Social teaching daily. 

It is important that the communication lines remain open throughout the year, since this will help your child to succeed. Please contact me with any questions or concerns you may have at sthibault@smsfr.dfrcs.org. Collaboration will allow each student to reach their full potential. 

Classroom supplies

I ask that each student contribute to our classroom housekeeping supplies, with a contribution of tissues, hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes.
