Hello, and welcome to fifth grade at Brown International Academy! It has been an exciting first week at school, and I wanted to share a few of the highlights.
The week started with learning how our classroom and fifth grade works. Students learned expectations, routines, and came up with their own class constitution. Thank you for signing student planners each night. The real planners should be here any day now! If you have seen warnings/strikes written in planners, understand that I try to be as consistent as possible in following my classroom management plan. Notes in planners do not typically mean a major issue, just small issues that when corrected, help our classroom to be the best learning enviornment possible.
We also did activities to learn more about each other and build a strong classroom community. William showed the class that you can walk on eggs without breaking them, and each student worked in a group to stack cups using only string and a rubber band. Check out the pictures and a video here.
I look forward to seeing students' "Who/What" Projects today and learning more about who and what is important to our students.
I could tell you more, but don't want to take up too much of your time. Thank you for your support this week, and I look forward to an exciting, challenging, and successful year. Please always feel free to contact me with questions in the planner, through email, or through a conference. [email protected]
Reminders/Notes:
Have a great weekend everyone,
Mr. Flancbaum

Reminders/Notes:
- If you haven't already, please remember to send in $5.00 for supply money and headphones for your student.
- After the supplies have been sorted, and inventory taken, if you are looking for something to donate to our classroom, markers and colored pencils seem to be in short supply.
- If you are interested in volunteering in the classroom, there will be more information available at Back to School Night on September 3rd. Look forward to seeing everyone there.
- I think everyone has figured this out, but you can pick your students up across from the gym on the playground at the side doors after school. They are coming from specials, and they can either be dismissed by their specials teacher or me.
Have a great weekend everyone,
Mr. Flancbaum
