We will be using the following curriculum:
Math- AOD Standards
Reading- AOD Standards
Social Studies- Michigan Common Core State Standards
English-AOD Standards
Expectations:
Students will use complete sentences, unless told otherwise.
Students will write using proper grammar, punctuation, capitalization, and writing techniques.
Students will complete their work on their own- unless group or partner work is specified. Parents are welcome to help students, but students should be completing the work themselves.
If a student is having difficulty, it is the responsibility of that student to ask for help from the teacher.
In fifth grade, students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning. Saying "Mom/dad forgot my book at home" is no longer allowed. Students need to take responsibility and say, "I forgot my book at home, but I will write myself a note and be sure to bring it in tomorrow"!
Students are welcome to email the teacher if they need clarification on a homework assignment. Emails should be professional in nature and should use correct grammar. Only the students can send emails under the student's account. Parents are also welcome to send emails, but they should come from the parent's email account.
Students should use and post on Google Classroom appropriately. It is a learning tool and should be used as such. This is the perfect place to post questions about an assignment.
Students will show respect and kindness to themselves, their classmates, and their teachers/adult in charge.
