It is a partnership in your child’s learning
My students need to be reading
for 20 minutes each night. Math
homework will be written in their
agenda. Periodically I will assign
additional homework. I will give
you the heads up on this via email.
I have high expectations for my students and their
behavior in my classroom. Tickets are given as an
individual reward and the students collect them.
Prizes are given after a certain amount are
received. As a whole class, they are able to earn
marbles and a party is given when they fill the
marble jar.
Lunch is at 11:55. This year you
MUST sign in with the lobby
before going to the cafeteria. I
apologize in advance for any
inconvenience but, our top
priority is the safety of our
students!
Each week their homework will be
written in their agendas. The green
take home folder and agenda go
home every night. Please let me
know if they are not getting home!
