Classroom Procedures

All assignments are due the next day unless specified otherwise. Place completed work in the bin.

Students have the opportunity to make corrections on all daily assignments to improve their understanding as well as their grade.

Students must receive permission from a staff member and sign out before leaving the classroom.

Before leaving the classroom at the end of the day students’ planners must be filled out for the day.

Technology

Our classrooms will use lots of technology! Students will create presentations using different tools, complete online research, and more throughout the year!

Homework

In our class, most “homework” will typically consist of finishing in-class assignments. Students will have plenty of time to get done with, or have a good start on all of their assignments. Time management will be a skill that we will work on developing throughout the year.

Students are also expected to be reading a book of their choosing. Research has shown daily independent reading to be one of the most important factors in predicting student success in school. Please encourage your child to read daily, and ask questions about what he/she is reading!
