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!
