Our Classroom
Welcome to our class!
In our class...
We are kind.
We are loved.
We embrace mistakes.
We are honest.
We work hard.
We have fun!
Rules
1. Be an active listener
2. Be prepared and organized
3. Think before you act
4. Know that mistakes happen
Homework
Each night students will have homework. They will write in their agendas daily what the homework is. Please sign their agendas nightly even if homework is NOT complete. In 5th grade we are trying to instill personal responsibility
and expect the students to take on the responsibility of getting it signed by you.
All homework is expected to be completed.
Of course, if an emergency comes up, please inform me through writing in their agendas.
Each night we expect that your child will have about an hour or less of homework. It will consist of:
Independent reading
30 min or 20+ pages
Math practice
Any assignments that are not completed within the class time
Snack Time
Students may bring one or two snacks to have throughout the day.
Snacks that work well are:
Fruits, crackers, granola bars, dry cereal, pretzels, veggies, etc.
Candy or greasy snacks that can ruin papers are not encouraged
Please provide a water bottle for your child to keep on their desk
Volunteers
WE ARE A TEAM!
The best run classrooms know that teachers and parents have to work together!
At the beginning of the year I will send home an interest form where you can state if you would be interested in volunteering.
More to come!
Birthdays
Birthdays are important and we love to celebrate! We celebrate birthdays during lunch - you may send in a treat with your student or visit during lunch to celebrate with them.
