Hello to the families of Ms. Drewa's Science classes!
My name is Sean Murphy and I will be a student-teacher in Ms. Drewa's 5th and 6th grade classes this fall. I am appreciative of the opportunity to learn from you, your child, and the staff at Ray Elementary as I work to develop as an educator. Over the course of the spring I will be taking on more responsibilities in the classroom and eventually fully take over classes for an extended period. To do that successfully I feel it is important to connect with both students and their families, and I look forward to getting to know you and your child in the coming months. I am currently in the second year of a two year master's program at The University of Chicago to become a certified K-8 teacher with licenses for middle school ELA, Social Studies and Science. Throughout my program I have had opportunities in the small group tutoring of middle grades math and ELA, as well as whole group instruction as a student-teacher in a 6th-8th grade ELA classroom. Prior to that I worked for a year as a substitute in CPS that included a three month stretch in a 5th grade ELA/Social Studies classroom. Those experiences have taught me a lot, but I know I have much more to learn and my time at Ray will be an important part of my growth as a teacher. I will be teaching with Ms. Drewa until May 25th and I am fully committed to making the most of that time. I will be available to meet or talk via email ([email protected]) and please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you and the community at Ray Elementary to continue your child's growth and development. Sincerely, Sean Murphy Go to the menu and open the 5th or 6th grade page to get homework details.
Sixth grade will take the middle of the year NWEA reading and math tests on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. Attendance is very important, because all testing must be complete by the end of the week. Your child's NWEA Progress Report, which includes scale scores and percentiles for all of the tests they have taken, will be sent home with their report card on Friday, February 9th.
