We hope you’ve all had a good summer and have had time to spend relaxing and having fun with family and friends.
Recently, we have started to prepare our classrooms for a year of exploration, collaboration, and achievement together.
Our main goal this year is to develop your sense of belonging within our team and Miscoe as a whole while helping you become a more responsible and independent learner who welcomes new challenges. Until we meet, here are some things to get you excited about your fifth grade year at Miscoe.
Your fifth-grade team consists of Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Keenan, Mrs. Langdon, and Mrs. Rutkowski.
Mrs. Crawford is located in room 301 and will be teaching science and social studies to the Spanish Immersion students. More than anything Mrs. Crawford’s family (husband and three kids) enjoy traveling the world. They just returned from a month long trip to Asia visiting Japan, Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia, the country in which her husband was born and raised. They’re still recovering from jet lag! Other than traveling, Mrs. Crawford sings in a choir, exercises at the YMCA and drives all over CT bringing her kids to their hockey and lacrosse games.
Mrs. Keenan teaches math and language arts and is located in room 126. This summer she spent time with her family on the cape and enjoyed long days at the beach with her family. She is married and has two boys ages twelve and nine. She spends a lot of her free time walking her dog, going to concerts, reading, and in hockey rinks.
Mrs. Langdon will be in room 303 and will be teaching Science and Social Studies. At any given day, you may find her skiing, kayaking, or hiking with family and our Bernese Mountain Dog, Winter. She has two boys that are also enrolled in MURSD. She loves this community of family and friends and gets involved whenever she can!
Mrs. Rutkowski teaches math and language arts in room 124. This summer, she went on a cruise to Bermuda to celebrate her parents’ fiftieth wedding anniversary. She is married and has three kids, a daughter who will be in seventh grade at Miscoe, and two sons who are in sixth and fourth grade in Hopedale. She spends a lot of time watching her kids at soccer, baseball, basketball, and cheer.
Hopefully, this letter answers some of your questions. If you have others, please email us. Otherwise, we’ll see you in a few weeks!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Crawford, Mrs. Keenan, Mrs. Langdon, and Mrs. Rutkowski
