My goals for our year:

• To help students find a love for reading and writing. To achieve this goal, we will be having a Reading Challenge that will take place throughout the entire academic year and we will be writing on a daily basis.

• To get all passing scores on our ELA and Science State Tests this year. To achieve this goal, I will be designating time in class for students to take past tests and to fix their mistakes together with their groups to help further their understanding of the material.

• To be kind and compassionate with Christ and St. Therese as our role models. To achieve this, I am hosting a Kindness Challenge, where students are expected to get in the habit of doing kind things for the sake of being kind without expecting anything else in return.

Classroom Supplies:

1 pack of baby wipes

1 box of tissues

1 roll of paper towels

1 container or Lysol wipes (or nonbleach wipes)

1 24-pack of water

**It is mandatory for each student to have their own headset. No earbuds will be allowed to be used for iReady testing or in-class lessons.**
