Four fifth grade teams consist
of four classes and one team
consists of five classes. The
teams are called the
Discoverers, Explorers,
Navigators, and Voyagers.
This means you really get to
know a lot of kids. You will go
to lunch, field trips, and PE
with this group; as well as sit
together for assemblies and
special events.
* Beginning the day — Enter the room
politely; put away your backpack, lunch,
and coat; turn in your homework; sit at your
desk and read alone, write your upcoming
work in your agenda, or do before-school
work silently.
BGIS
BROADCAST
Tune in every morning at 8:00
for BGIS broadcast. This is
where you can find out
information about what’s
going on at school. On
Friday’s, we sometimes have
a “week-in-review.” Keep an
eye out for pictures of you or
your friends.
*Pledge — When you hear/see the signal, stop what
you're doing immediately and stand up; place your
right hand over your heart; say the Pledge of
Allegiance respectfully; during the 30 seconds of
silence, quietly think about the things you want to
learn today and how you will act in class.
Your locker is
where you will keep
all your stuff. If you
keep it organized,
all of your books
and things will fit in
it. The one
important thing to
remember about
your locker is your
locker combination.
INDEPENDENT
READING
(IDR Time)
Independent reading is
time set aside for you to
spend with a “Just Right
Book.” This time will be
in the morning during 1st
period.
We have an Academy
Program and it is
AWESOME!
Academy is where you get to
choose what you would like to
learn more about. We have
academies that deal with
technology, cooking, gardening,
and even photography. Academy
changes about every 6 weeks;
therefore you get a chance to
participate in many classes.
Sounds great doesn’t it? Told you
Academy was awesome!
DRESS
YOUR
BEST!
You have to dress
your best. The
dress code is
enforced so you
really need to wear
the right clothes.
Just a few no’s…no
gym shorts, sweat
pants, spaghetti
straps, short
shorts, etc.
You start off with a
few exercises to
keep you healthy
and then after the
warm up exercises
it is time to play.
You will participate
in flag football,
basketball,
lacrosse, soccer,
volleyball, and
many more fun
activities.
We use Edmodo. No,
I did not say Komodo,
but Edmodo. It is an
online site that lets
you have educational
discussions with other
students and teachers
will put assignments
online that you can
work on. It’s a great
way to stay
educationally
connected.

THINK
Each week fifth grade
students have special classes.
They will go to art, choir,
music, guidance, library and
technology. Yes, fifth graders
go to a computer class every
week! Plus, their teacher can
take them to the computer lab
for extra time or they can
check out laptops for their
class. So, one thing to know
is that at Brock’s Gap
technology is a big deal.
There are many ways to get
involved. There are many
opportunities to participate in
different activities here at
Brock’s Gap. You can run for
student council, be a part of
the math team, go to First
Priority, be a part of the school
newspaper staff, be a Peer
Helper, or work on the school
yearbook. Wait, we don’t
have enough time for me to
name everything. Just know
that there are lots of
opportunities to get involved.
Possible “Helper” Jobs for
Students
-Library Helpers
-Office Helpers
-Lost & Found Helpers
*Helping other students — In a cooperative
classroom, it is good to help one another; if
someone needs help with directions or
reading an assignment, help him or her if you
are able; never put down another student
who asks for help.
* Getting into work groups — Take all the
materials you will need; greet each other;
complete the task doing your personal best;
thank the others in your group.
*When and how to use the school restroom — You
may go to the restroom between class transitions; do
not play in the restroom; return to class before two
minutes have passed (promptly).
* Leaving the room — Tell me where you are
going; take the correct hall pass or sign out on
the door; do not run or play in the hallways or
restrooms.
*What to do during free time — If you finish
an assignment, first work on any unfinished
work; when you finish those, you may
choose to do your classroom job, read a
book, write a story, illustrate a book that you
have written, make up math problems, work
on a research project, peer-tutor someone
who needs your help.
* Signals for attention — If a teacher or
administrator hold ups a “zero”; as soon as
you see the signal; stop what you are doing,
hold a zero up to show that you acknowledge
what you see, look at the adult, and listen for
directions.
* Lining up — Stand up quietly; push in
your chair; take all necessary items; line
up without touching others or talking;
face the front of the line; watch where
you are going.
* Lunch is really delicious! Our lunch at
Brock’s Gap is a self-serve lunch so you
will put the food on your own plate. This
means you get to choose what and how
much you get…but remember to keep
money in your lunch account.
* In the lunchroom, sit together as a class
at the assigned table. Throw away your
trash when you are finished eating.
*Visitors in the classroom — When visitors
enter the room, you may say hello— a smile is
great!; when the visitors introduce themselves,
say, "Welcome to our class, __________";
remember, most visitors are here to watch you
learn, so be ready to explain what you are
working on; treat visitors respectfully. Do not
interrupt the visitor while he/she is speaking
and keep voices very quiet.
*Ending the day — Clean off your desk; pick up any
trash within three feet of your desk; come back to
your seat; wait quietly to be dismissed.
* Afternoon Dismissal – We will pack up at 2:55.
You should pack your binder, go to your locker, and
then come right back to the classroom and wait for
the announcement to dismiss. When dismissed
WALK down the main hallway stairs. You are NOT
allowed to hang out in the hallway while you wait for
dismissal.
*
Make Up Work – if you are absent, it will be
your responsibility to come and ask for your make
up work. It will also be your responsibility to
complete it and turn it back in. If you fail to do this,
you will receive a zero.
*
Missing Assignment – If you miss a homework
assignment, you will sit alone at lunch and complete
your assignment while you eat silently. You will also
fill out a missing assignment take home note that
will need to be signed by a parent.
*
Several Missing Assignments – If you have
several missing assignments, you will be asked to
go to Friday School. It is held every Friday afternoon
from 3-7pm.
