Hey Owl Family! I am so excited to be teaching 3rd grade Reading Language Arts this school year! This will be my 14th year teaching and my 6th year at Caddo Grove.
I have been married to my husband for 16 years and we have two daughters, one is in 6th grade and the other is in college.
Besides teaching I love being outside, going on cruises, listening to music, and spending as much time with my family and friends as possible.
I am so excited to get this year started!
Class Information
Specials: Students rotate through PE, Music, and Computers. Please watch for the posted schedule.
Communication (Class Dojo): We use Class Dojo to share classroom news and learning highlights. You will receive an invitation to join shortly.
Weekly Updates: I send weekly updates via Class Dojo messenger regarding class activities and upcoming events. Please check these regularly, as they contain important information.
Caddo Folders: These go home daily. Please ensure the behavior calendar remains inside at all times. The folder should be returned to school every day along with the included monthly menu and event calendar.
Behavior Expectations: We track behavior using monthly calendars. Please sign your child's behavior chart/calendar daily so we know you are aware of their daily progress. Students earn marks for unmet expectations after a warning; serious behaviors (e.g., physical contact) result in immediate marks. For serious concerns, we will reach out directly via Class Dojo or phone.
Grading: Students receive three ELAR grades per week.
Homework: Homework is required, though not graded. Students receive one math question per night, which is reviewed in class the following day. Students may complete all 3-4 weekly questions at once or one per night. Missing homework results in a mark on the behavior calendar and completion during study hall.
Absent Work: For prolonged absences, please contact me to arrange pick-up of take-home work. Students have the equivalent amount of time they were absent to complete make-up assignments.
Note: More detailed information will be provided in the upcoming Curriculum Night slides.
