Welcome to Fifth Grade!!
Study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly
(William Ellery Channing)
Welcome to fifth grade at the William Ellery Channing
Elementary School. I am very excited to start this new
learning adventure with you and your child. My name is
Ms. Lormilus and I will be your childs teacher this school
year. Our classroom will be a learning environment
where all students, teachers and family members will
practice being respectful, responsible and safe each and
every day. We are a community of fifth grade scholars
ready to take on any and all new challenges. Our
classroom motto is:
study hard, think quietly, talk gently, act frankly
The Channing school was named after an
American poet named William Ellery Channing.
Mr. Channing was born in Boston Mass. On
November 29, 1818. As a young boy, he attended
Boston Latin School. For college, he attended
Harvard University, which is also where his dad
was a professor. Mr. Channing loved to write
poetry, one of his well written poems is called
My symphony, which the scholars will learn
this school year.
