Our Classroom Expectations...

The classroom expectations were created by our class at the beginning of the school year. Tables earn table points for following the expectations. Students are selected as student of the month. Students not following expectations will get tallies.

Communication

It is easiest to reach me through email. I will check email throughout the day and respond within 24 hours during the school week. You are also welcome to call the classroom and leave a message (the phone doesn't ring, it connects directly to voice mail). You will receive a newsletter every week through email. You will also be able to access the newsletter on this web site.

Graded papers will be sent home each Wednesday. Papers should be taken out and kept at home. Sign that you've seen the work and return the folder to school with your child the next day.
