Our class goals:
Be respectful and responsible.
Be organized and follow directions.
Be prepared.
Important: Nut Free Classroom
Communication: class website, e-mails, notes etc. Everyone could have a rough morning or situation. Please feel free to communicate such circumstances so I can best support your child throughout the day. You don't need to give me private details, just a mention that someone needs a little extra TLC.
We will be working on learning the expectations of the school day academically and socially. We are a family, so everyone has responsibilities. I will be encouraging each student to be kind and do the right thing without expecting a reward.
Please sign homework and homework book each night. Homework should take an average of about 30 minutes. Please let me know if your child is having trouble doing an assignment. You could circle the problem, write in the homework book, or on the homework, or send me a note or email.
Memorization of math facts and sight words can help build fluency.
You will be notified of tests on the Weekly Reminders.
We can celebrate birthdays, half birthdays, or holidays with a small treat. If you are sending in cards, my rule is send them in for the whole class, all the boys, or all the girls. Any invitations should not be sent through school unless you are inviting the whole class.
Feel free to order from Scholastic Book Clubs if you wish. www.scholastic.com/clubsordering code GR8KX
Please check the handbook for dress code. I'll send reminders if needed. Please let me know if your child couldn't find their shoes or belt for example.
