5th grade - Miss Vandenbord 2023-2024school year

Welcome Back!!!!! I'm so excited to get started! We are going to have an exciting 5th grade year!!!

5th grade is a transition year where the students should expect to see math homework daily. Along with homework, children will be responsible for reviewing for upcoming quizzes, tests, completing projects and assignments. It is important to review daily for social studies and science. Please make sure to review your child's assignment agenda daily.

There may be changes for academic purposes due to live meets.

Please refer to the Google Classroom for a daily assignment sheet. The daily work will be posted on the Daily Assignment sheet everyday. If a student is absent they can refer to this document to complete the assignment for that day. Students are able to view this assignment sheet. A note and assignments for that evening will be streamed as well as extended assignment due dates.

Profile:

My name is Karen Vandenbord and I am a 5th grade math, social studies, and science teacher at East Union Intermediate Center. I have taught at Deer Lakes since 2000. Prior to Deer Lakes I taught 4th grade at Hartwood Elementary School in Fox Chapel School District and worked in different teaching capacities as well. I graduated from West Virginia University with a BS in Speech Pathology and Audiology. I received a MS in Elementary Education from Duquesne University along with Masters of Science in Administration and Supervision. I have been fortunate to work with dedicated and compassionate people at Deer Lakes. Previous to being hired I hoped to teach math, social studies, and science. When I received the phone call that I was approved by the board to teach math, social studies, and science everything fell into place! I would not change a thing!
