Welcome to the St. Joseph Catholic School 5th Grade Website!!
My name is Kristin Hammar and I am very excited for my fourth year at St. Joseph Catholic School! I am new to 5th grade this year, having taught 4th grade the three years prior to this. I have had such great experiences here, always receiving a warm welcome from the families of the parish and school community. I earned my teaching degree from Eastern Michigan University and I am also endorsed by the state of Michigan to teach Social Studies! I am very excited to be teaching 5th - 8th grade Social Studies and History this year! My husband and I live in Carleton, Michigan with our two boys and our two Labs. We are active in our local community and are members of Divine Grace Catholic Church, St. Patrick Parish, in Carleton. I love learning as much as I love teaching and will always do my best to work to create an environment where students can all learn and experience new challenges that will help them build on their knowledge. I look forward to exploring our faith, not only in the subject of Religion, but identifying the many ways that the Bible and the teachings of Jesus can be incorporated with all of our subjects. I believe every child should be valued and treated with respect and I will work to ensure that our classroom is a safe and fun, yet disciplined, place for all.

Throughout the year, the 7th and 8th grades will be watching CNN10.
(5th and 6th grades will be watching appropriate segments as they pertain to our learning.)
CNN10 Explains global news to a global audience.
The show's priority is to identify stories of international significance and then clearly describe why they're making news, who is affected, and how the events fit into a complex, international society.
Viewers will learn from every story and the show maintains a neutral position on controversial topics.
It seeks to provide multiple viewpoints, clear illustrations, and general overviews instead of graphic descriptions.
