Welcome, 4th & 5th Grade Families! 💛

My name is Ms. Ruiz, and I am truly passionate about being a teacher. I feel very grateful to welcome your children into our classroom and to be part of their learning journey this year.

In our 4th/5th Grade Bridge Class, my goal is to create a warm, supportive, and engaging environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and confident. I want to help each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally while building independence, responsibility, and a love for learning.

How Families Can Support Us at Home 🌟

Your support makes a big difference in your child’s success. Please help your child come to school ready to learn by making sure they:

• Arrive at school before 8:20 AM
• Eat a healthy breakfast
• Get enough sleep each night
• Come prepared and ready to learn
• Talk with you about what they are learning in school

I also encourage you to ask questions such as, What did you learn today? What was interesting? What was challenging? What are you proud of?

When families and teachers work together, we can help our students feel supported, confident, and ready to grow. 💛
