My name is Mrs. Mary McCall and I am excited to be your child’s Teacher. I wanted to give you a brief overview of my expectations.

4. Participate.

7. Have a good attitude.

9. Take responsibility.

Rules and Discipline

2. Follow directions.

3. Work quietly. Do not disturb others who are working.

4. Respect others. Be kind with your words and actions.

5. Respect school and personal property.

6. Work and play safely.

Group Expectations - due to the pandemic group work will not be allowed; students may work collaboratively online on group work if possible.

Give thoughtful feedback

Respect others

On task, all the time

Use soft voices

Participate actively

Stay with your group


I keep track of behavior in a notebook. Examples of student consequences for misbehavior include silent lunch, loss of social time at recess, isolated seating, and classroom discipline reports. After receiving two classroom discipline reports, a student will receive an automatic office referral. Students have a chance to earn individual rewards for great behavior. Our class will strive for teamwork and excellent behavior to receive class rewards.

Homework

It is my belief that homework should serve a specific purpose. Homework will be used as a supplement to instruction to improve or increase skills. Homework is a direct practice of the skills/standards we are working on. Homework may be enrichment activities, such as special reports, research work, and practice of a specific skill. Homework will be assigned Monday through Thursday. During eLearning, homework is to read and practice math skills/facts.
