To Mrs.
Newbrey's 5th Grade
Our Goal:
The goal of
this website is to increase student success by improving
communication between school and home. Browse through our classroom
website and you will find valuable information about class
policies, homework, and curriculum. Please visit this site often
and use the information you find to support your child throughout
the school year. Thanks for your support! Parental involvement is the key to student
success.
Mrs. Newbrey
I attended Interlake
High School in Bellevue and then went to WWU, the
UW, and graduated from CWU. My husband has worked for
the Seattle Fire Department as an officer at Medic 1 for 30 years.
We have two sons, both of whom graduated from Kentwood High School.
Our oldest recently graduated from WWU with a degree in
Operations Management. The youngest is getting his BA, working
for a seafood broker, and was married last August (this makes
me sound quite old doesn't it; actually, I am).
I've been teaching in the Tahoma District for 20 years,
all of them here at Lake Wilderness. I'm currently involved in the
5th grade teaming program with Mrs. Star and Mr. Finch. One of the
goals of the program is to help prepare our students for the
transition to Middle School in 6th grade. Your child will spend the
morning with me (homeroom) for math, spelling, social studies, and
writing.
Our first social studies unit includes the discovery,
colonization, and the fight for independence of the United States.
We then move on to Westward Movement and the Civil War. There
is a great deal of reading about the topics we're studying and
then an equal amount of writing. Most of the writing is
expository, taking the form of summaries, writing to inform,
and writing to explain.
Communication
You can email me
at tnewbrey@tahomasd.us or you can contact me through voice mail
by calling 425.413.3500 and asking for my voice mail. However,
email is the quickest and easiest way for us to connect with each
other.
Bus
Passes/Getting Home
Please remember
that your child will need a note from home to ride a bus other than
his/her own. Please include the following information: bus number,
address they will be going to, and the name of the person they will
be going home with. Or, if there is any change in your child's
normal going home routine, please send a note telling how your
child will be getting home and who is picking them up. This
is only to aid in the safety of our children.
Early
Check-out
Please remember
that you must go to Office A to sign your child out if you will be
picking him/her up before the end of the school day. It is also
possible to get permanent pick-up
passes.
Visitors
All visitors to
LWES must check in at Office A. There is a sign-in sheet, and
badges must be worn at all times while you are on school premises.
Again, this is for the safety of all of our children and we
appreciate your cooperation.
Safe
Arrival
As part of our
safe arrival program, we would like you to call in to the safe
arrival number to let us know that your child is going to be out
for the day or delayed in arriving. Our safe arrival phone number
is 206.654.1856.
