Hello my beautiful Fifth Grade Family! My name is Mr. Husfloen and I would like to take this opportunity to thank each of you for the privilege of taking part in the education of your children (just think of me as that long-lost cousin, twice removed on your father's side of the family (: ). I have been teaching for 21 years now including six years in high school special education, five years 3rd grade elementary, and now ten years as 5th grade teacher at St. Adelaide Academy. I have enjoyed these many years teaching and look forward to this school year as well! Sincerely, Mr. H

Happy Fall Fifth Grade Family! Wow, we are already into our seventh week of the new school year. Things are progressing well, and knowledge seems to be permeating throughout our classroom. However, of coarse there is always room for improvement (: The memorization of times tables continues to be lacking for several students. This is hampering their ability to move at an easier and quicker pace through some of their lessons. Also, the spelling of many words at grade level is also a concern among several students. Please encourage your child to practice times tables and spelling daily. It will definitely help the whole team. The anticipation of Halloween is already strong, and the students are excited! Let's all hope for an actual change in seasons, and the coming of cold weather, rain and wind! God bless,  Mr. H
