Dear parent, This web site has been designed for the only purpose of helping students to understand better some concepts in Language and math. In addition, they would be able to get some support for their homework. For those students who would like to practice I will have some worksheet with exercises for the different topics in language and math taught in the classroom. Go to classroom resources. Also go to useful links to practice reading, spelling and math.

Bathroom rules

 

Students can and should be able to use the restroom when necessary.  However, in order to motivate students to use the bathroom at recess time, they are charged 10 minutes at recess whenever they use class time to use the bathroom.  In addition, if a student asks to use the restroom within 15 minutes after class has begun or after a recess, that student will stay 10 minutes .  If there is a medical problem I should be made aware of, please let me know and we will work something out.

 




 *Homework
