Welcome to Anchorage 5th Grade!

As a team, we strive to create a strong class community. We believe our classroom should be a caring community of learners, a place where students feel safe to take risks and encourage one another to do their personal best. It is our goal to create engaging and meaningful instruction in which we cultivate strong thinkers and future problem-solvers. Anchor Down!
