Welcome to Mrs. Sinkaus' 5th Grade Reading Class Website
First day of school for the new year is: Wednesday, September 6! My room number is 505. It is the 4th room on the
right-hand side of the 5th grade hallway. The bell rings at 8:40 for homeroom. All of the teachers will be out in the
hallway to greet students and direct them to the proper homeroom class. I look forward to meeting you!

Uniform Policy
Students are required to wear the usual khaki or navy blue shorts or pants. Any Riverside spiritwear or Riverside
uniform shirts are acceptable. Hoodies ARE permitted this year.
Water Bottles
Students should bring a water bottle, as there is a refillable water station located in our hallway. A big issue that
has developed is students not bringing a water bottle and asking teachers or the nurse for a cup. Please make
sure they have a labeled water bottle to prevent this issue!
School Supplies
- whiteboard, 4 dry erase Expo markers
- white board eraser (can be a sock, piece of felt, or a small piece of material)
- pack of Ticonderoga pencils (these are the only brand that works) or mechanical pencils
- highlighters (preferably at least 2 different colors. When completing TDA writing we use: pink, yellow, orange, green, and blue)

- 1 pack Post-its
- (optional) personal-sized stapler, refills
- (optional) pens, gel pens, colored pencils
- * The pencil sharpener in my room does not require the students to touch anything other than their pencil, so
- individual sharpeners are not needed.
