Hi, my name is Alex Lorber and I am a fourth grade teacher here at Wilson Creek Elementary. I am so excited to be teaching the 5th Grade Accelerated ELA class again this year!
Students learning Grade 5 ELA curriculum expand and deepen the concepts, skills, and strategies learned in earlier grades. Grade 5 students read and comprehend texts from a variety of genres (fiction, nonfiction, poetry, and drama), and subject areas (math, science, social studies, even English/language arts). Students make new connections as they encounter new ideas and begin to study subjects in more formal ways.
I want to take this opportunity to welcome you to this website and my other website as well (our 4th grade class website) @ www.mrslorber.weebly.com . The purpose of these websites is simply to provide learning opportunities for students and to communicate current learning objectives to both students and parents. These websites are where you can browse each of the pages to view a variety of up-to-date informative material. Please use these websites to read about what is happening in our 4th/5th grade ELA classes, Social Studies, and explore fun learning sites in each of the subjects.
I teach: reading, grammar, spelling, writing and social studies.
Teaching is an absolute passion of mine and I look forward to working with you and your child. My goal is for all my students to engage with literature in a way that enables each student to feel empowered. I want my students to know things, feel things, imagine things, and become the people they dream to be. I know it’s going to be a year full of fun, discovery, learning, laughter, and adventure! I can’t wait to see what the year has in store for us! Please feel free to reach out to me at any time! Email me at [email protected]
