Can't wait for an amazing school year!
In this classroom, everyone MUST know that you are capable!
We will discuss brain growth, and growth mind sets in this classroom. We will be challenged as well as embrace mistakes, because this is how WE grow. I say we because I am speaking of my self also. We are a team in this classroom (parents included) and we will all grow together.
I look forward to growing with you!
Kagan Structures are instructional strategies designed to promote cooperation and communication in the classroom, boost students' confidence and retain their interest in classroom interaction.
We will enter into a flipped classroom model. This means more engaging hands on classroom activities for you student. In order for this to be successful, students will be required to complete notes at home/for homework, instead of the daily homework problems that typically go home, your child will be required to watch a video and take guided notes. If your student is unable to access YouTube, either phone or computer please let me know ASAP so that I can make arrangements for your student to receive their notes in advance, another way. I am so looking forward to the engagement and knowledge retention from our students this year. Parents and guardians, we are truly a team and I appreciate all the effort you put in at home. I hope that you will help support your student and our classroom learning environment. Thank you in advance :)

-Following classroom rules and procedures (our classroom treatment agreement)
- Keeping track of your growth
- Staying organized and on top of your work
- Complete notes at home so we can have more engaging classroom activities
