Ms. Goleman

I'm so excited to be teaching 5th grade MATH to a great group of students this year.  This is my 10th year at Beekman Charter School, which gives me 20 years of teaching experience.  Throughout the year, we will cover many math skills and work hard to become successful math students.

We will be using practice worksheets in class and for homework.  Students will be assessed by taking quizzes/tests, assignments, and participation.  I will send home a week at a glance, which will also be posted on this site.  This will inform you of the lessons taught, homework assigned, and test days.  Please keep in mind that this is a plan for the week, and things may change.

If you need to contact me, please email me.  Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

Sincerely,

Lara Goleman

RULES AND PROCEDURES

Dear Parent or Guardian,

The fifth grade teachers have created a list of classroom rules and consequences that will be used in all three fifth grade classes.  Please read through the following list.  

Classroom RULES:  (while ON CAMPUS)

1. No talking without permission

2. No eating / chewing gum

3.    Use technology properly

4. No playing or bothering others

5. Pay attention

6. Stay in your seat

CONSEQUENCES for the week:

**Verbal WARNING** - We usually give several of these.

1. Conduct mark (5pts)

2. Conduct mark and lose recess time (5 pts)

3.    Conduct mark / Contact parent - MINOR (5 pts)

4.    Conduct mark / Visit Dean of Students  - MAJOR (5 pts)

*If a student receives 3 conduct marks in a day, that is a major offense and the student will be referred to the Dean of Students.

***Students will go directly to the office for profanity, violence, and any other major offense. (10 points)***

Students will start at the beginning of the week with a conduct grade of 100A.  5 points will be deducted for each conduct mark and 10 points will be deducted for each office visit.  Students will receive a weekly conduct grade at the end of the week, which will be entered into our grading system.

Students will also receive positive reinforcements for good behavior.  In addition to using frequent praise and PBIS tiger bucks, a reward system will be set up by each teacher.
