About Fifth Grade at Hill: There are six 5th Grade Teachers at Hill Elementary: Hannah Cotten, Lorraine Salome, Thomas Wilder, Rachel Briles, Jacob Mayer, and Bess Wirht. We departmentalize our subjects, so each teacher can become an expert in his our her subjects. (This means each teacher only teaches one or two subjects, but does so a few times a day, as opposed to one teacher teaching all subjects to just one class.) We teach 3 classes per day, with about 25 students in each class. There are two rotations of teachers in fifth grade, three teachers in each rotation. That means that a student will have three teachers throughout the day. In one rotation, Mrs. Cotten teaches Science and Social Studies, Ms. Salome teaches Math and Mr. Wilder teaches Language Arts. In the other rotation, Ms. Briles teaches Science, Mr. Mayer teaches Math and Ms. Wirht teaches Language Arts.
