Be Kind, Be Curious, Try Things, Wear a Helmet
These are guiding principles for students in our classroom throughout the school year:
Be Kind: You are spending about half of your wakeful hours with your classmates. Kindness from you will grow kindness for you. It will make our classroom and school a great place to hang out together!
Be Curious: You are capable of learning SO MUCH! Learning is dependent on asking questions, wondering, pondering. Do these things and you will learn, so much more than I can teach you. Parents: Read this brief article about productive struggle by well-regarded educational researcher, Jo Boaler.
Try Things: Stick your neck out, take risks, great learning takes a willingness to make mistakes and to figure out how things work.
Wear a Helmet: Be safe, make good choices, a helmet comes in handy at times, so does physical activity, healthy food, adequate sleep, and hugs.

Communication Meetings
Twice during the school year, you are invited to meet with me to discuss your child's progress in school. Links will be published in the school e-newsletter and added here 2 weeks prior to Communication Meeting Nights.
Communication Nights, 4:15 - 7:15 P.M., are:
Tuesday, November 18
Thursday, November 20 (the school common night is November 13 - I need to switch to November 20 for personal reasons)
Thursday, February 19
Tuesday, February 24
Contact Information
Always call the attendance line regarding absences. 651-621-7701.
My preferred communication is through email at: linda.hagen@moundsviewschools.org.
I generally check email before the start of the school day, once during the day, and after students have left. Sometimes, I have meetings that make it difficult to check email until after the school day. If you have an emergency that I need to be contacted about immediately, call the office at 651-621-7700 and have them call me over the classroom intercom to let me know I need to answer my phone. While teaching with the class in session, I rarely interrupt a lesson to answer the phone.
