Hello to all of our fifth graders!  We would like to welcome you to our 5th grade TEAM!!  All of your teachers are excited to work with all of you this year as we are planning an awesome year for you! Together we will go on this journey, and work as a team and a family each step of the way. When we have questions, together we will search for answers.  It is together where we find strength and hope.   As a team of teachers, we are working hard to ensure that you will have a fantastic year filled with engaging, fun, innovative and exciting new lessons and moments to remember.  While this may be your last year at the IEC, we hope to make it your best.  You are the LEADERS of the school and we know you will be amazing role models to our younger students and make a positive impact.  Let the wonderful journey begin….
