Siyo! Welcome to Ms. Beck's Classroom

Welcome to Our Classroom's Web page

  "Keepers of the Sacred Belt"

                    "We, the a-da-tso-s-di

   di-ni-k(a)-ti-ya, promise to be

  responsible, respectful, truthful

  and caring to all."

    Some good ways to prepare for the 5th grade:

    1)  Read a lot of different

         kinds of books.  The more

         you read, the better a

         reader you will become.

    2)  Look over multiplication

         tables frequently, so that

         they are not forgotten. 

         Try to team up with friends

         and make a game out of it!

    3)  Instead of picking up your

         cell phones, try writing a

         letter to someone.  It will

         be greatly appreciated by

         the receiver, and you may

         even get a letter back!

         Remember, cursive writing

         is required from now on.

  Remember-

     Try to watch Hoot this summer.

(This is the book that we read in class.)

     Read  "Small Steps", part 2 to "Holes".

The Sacred Path program is a character education program developed to promote caring, responsibility, and respect for self and others while following traditional tribal beliefs. Each grade level meets to discuss issues that need to be addressed within the grade block and the school. Together they determine solutions to any problems that are addressed and work together to solve those problems. Students and teachers work together on the Sacred Path to make the school a safe place to learn.
