Fifth Grade
Welcome to 5th Grade at St. Lawrence School!
Class Details
This year we will be learning all of the subjects in a new and exciting way! I believe hands on activities and playing games is a great way to engage every student in learning. We will do many science experiments, projects, and interactive activities! This will be a fun year!
In this classroom, kindness, acceptance, and showing love to one another is very important! Each child is welcomed, loved, and appreciated in this classroom.
Teacher Biography
Hello! My name is Jessica Welter.
I am so excited to be teaching 5th grade this year! This is my 3rd year teaching 5th grade at St. Lawrence. I graduated from Brockport College in 2019 with a bachelors degree in Childhood Education (1st through 6th), Special Education, and English Literature. I completed my masters in Literacy (birth through 12th grade) in December 2022.
My whole life I have known I wanted to help people but I wasn’t sure what field until 2016 when I was in school for Social Work. I worked at Longridge Elementary with 2nd grade and after two days of working in the classroom, I changed my major to Childhood Education! Ever since then, every job I have had has been with kids. Its my passion!
I have a lot of experience working with kids in many different ways. I worked at a before and afterschool care program in the Greece School District, substitute taught in Greece, worked at a summer camp, taught PreK at DoodleBugs for a year and a half, tutored at tutoring center, and most recently I taught at a summer school for first and second graders in a 12:1:4 classroom.
On my free time, I like to spend time with friends and family. My family is growing to be pretty big- 2 parents, 3 sisters, 2 brother in laws (another will be added this November!), and a nephew and niece (with another on the way!!!) I have a cat named Lucy who I love very dearly. When I have the time, I like to draw and paint or do anything crafty.
I am looking forward to getting to know all of my new students! I have so many fun activities planned for this school year!
