Norwood Elementary School 5th Grade- Mrs. Byrge

Norwood is a small school, filled with happy teachers and students. It seems to have a lower economic class, but the teachers seem to truly strive to help their students succeed. My 5th grade class has a large amount of males, and just a few girls. There are about 22 students in Mrs. Byrge's classroom, with about 4 special needs children. My teacher has a strict but fun schedule, that her students stay on regularly. This schedule helps the students know how to act appropriately and maintain good behavior throughout the entire day.


 * Mission Statement:** The mission of Norwood Elementary School is to provide an opportunity for every student to learn at or above grade level expectations in a safe and secure environment that fosters positive social and emotional growth. The students will demonstrate mastery of grade level skills as measured by a variety of continuous classroom assessments and criterion referenced testing based on state and national standards. These assessments will provide teachers with the necessary evidence to support all students with opportunities for ongoing learning.
