    Hello!       apple

     

    Dear Parents/Guardians,
     
    Welcome! I am excited to spend the year with your child. It will be a year full of exciting learning and a year to prepare your child for Middle School & the years thereafter.  But, only if we work together can we ensure your child’s fullest potential.  I would like to share some general information about my class that will help your child have a smooth and successful year.

     

    Organization
     
    I feel that one of the keys to success is staying organized.  Students are expected to have a notebook so they can copy notes off of the board.  In addition, they should have a sturdy pocket folder for any classwork, homework, or notes that I pass out.  Homework and classwork can be removed from the folder at the end of each quarter.

     

    Homework & Projects

    Occasionally, students will be expected to complete homework.  When given, they will have the opportunity to start it in class.

     

    1.)  Homework reinforces the content that is taught in class.
    2.)  Completion of it helps students to learn responsibility and develop positive work habits.
    3.)  It is very important that it is completed ON-TIME.
    4.)  I expect all students to ALWAYS TRY THEIR BEST. 
     
     

    Tests & Quizzes

    Tests and quizzes will be given periodically throughout the year.  The date of the assessment will be displayed on the whiteboard in addition to the class calendar, usually 2 weeks prior.  Your child will be given their assessment once it has been graded.  Sometimes an opportunity may be given to correct any incorrect problems for a higher score.  I will keep copies of all assessments within your child’s academic portfolio at school.  At any time you would like to see or discuss anything within the portfolio, please contact me. 

      

    Additional Suggested School Supplies

    • #2 Dixon Ticonderoga pencils - I have found that these pencils write dark enough and leave less waste when sharpened.
    • Pencil sharpener
    • Eraser & pencil cap erasers
