A Little About Mrs. Trierweiler This is my 16 th year teaching, and my first year teaching 5 th . I live at home with my husband Walt, and I have 3 kids who are 23, 19 and 15. I grew up in Islip, NY. I received my B.A. and Masters in Elementary Education from UF.

A Little About Mrs. BlackburnThis is my 24th year teaching, and my first year teaching 5 th . I live with my husband and my sons who are 19 and 16. I grew up in Ft. Lauderdale and Naples. I received my degree in elementary education from USF.

A Little About The “Treburns” This is our 8 th year together. We like this model of teaching because it allows the teacher to focus on two academic areas instead of several. T he team approach because it prepares the students for middle school. The team model allows students to become more independent and responsible for bringing their materials to class. Collaboration between teachers benefits the students.

House System Builds community among the classes and grade levels. This year it is school-wide. Studies show that house systems help build self esteem, a sense of belonging, and allow students to shine outside of the academic arena. The 6 houses are named after a variety of virtues. Students can earn house points by going above and beyond the normal expectations inside and outside of the classroom. House leaders are chosen based on a variety of criteria.

2018-2019 Data 86% of the Treburns were proficient (3 or above) in Reading and Math iReady correctly predicted 75% of the math scores. iReady correctly predicted 85% of the reading scores.

iReady Students use the class laptops for 45 minutes from 10:15 – 11:00 every day. Students are working to make gains in the areas of Reading and Math. Students work at their own pace. Students are expected to complete 45 minutes in both reading and math weekly . Students who miss this block due to special services will need to make up the time at home or come to our classrooms before or after school. Classroom time may be given to catch up on minutes. We have found that students who do not complete their weekly minutes do not make as much growth on the FSA or in class.

Go Math Addresses Florida Math Standards (MAFS) Go Math is the core curriculum. In order to be successful in 5 th grade math, students should know their multiplication and division facts .
