I am looking forward to a positive, academically successful year. As you get to know me, you will find that I love to have fun. I have accepted the responsibility of being your child's teacher and recognize how valuable the time is that I spend with your student. As we work together this year, in support of one another, your child will benefit. I have outlined the year's expectations and policies to help us get a good start. Attendance Late Work & Absences Check SIS regularly to stay on top of the work that has been assigned and graded. Your student will get a mid-term progress reports and a missing assignments report every other week. Homework Homework is an essential element in your child’s learning. I expect students to do their best on each assignment. Reading  I ask that all students have a novel in their desks at all times for free reading. Each student will read at least 20 minutes each night. In the Homework Record Keeper is a place for you to sign this off each day. A reward is given to those students who have all their signatures at the end of the week and month. They will have literature circles in school that will require reading at home. This will give them ample opportunity to read for pleasure, read for exploration and read for assignments. Math  Math is a daily homework event. I work hard at giving them every opportunity to finish their assignment in class. If it is not, it is due the next morning when school starts. They are not allowed to finish it during the morning routine. Keeping track of their assignments is very important. All assignments are to be done in pencil! No assignment or journal entry is to be thrown away. Students who receive a 79% or lower on any math lesson are to rework the problems for more credit. Students who receive a 79% or lower on a math test are to rework the missed problems as homework. This will help to ensure your child is building on concepts he understands rather than falling behind slowly.
