• The website will be updated with the up-coming information for our class and school.

• I will post all links which will stay on the page without having to scroll up and down like we have to do on the google classroom.  For example if you wanted to access the reading vocabulary for the current story you will be able to go right to the reading page to locate it.  As students and more information is added to the google classroom (Stream) the post from me will be pushed down on the page.  

• Please contact me with any concerns.  I also promise that your children are in good hands and everything will be explained to them before moving on.  

1) Our room will have Spanish on Thursdays at (1:55 - 2:40)

​

  Homework

Homework - The homework will be posted before the beginning of the week on this site. The students will still have to copy it down in school, but it will be on the website and google page for review. Depending on what gets covered in school the homework may change due to changes in the class. If the homework from the website changes and the students have a different assignment in their copybook, then they are responsible for the work in their homework book. Students will generally have to study most nights and what written work there is. With the amount of work and content studying a few nights ahead is key.  Remember - even though there might not be a lot of written work or any for that matter you will always have to study for homework. Trying different study techniques like: making note cards, making tests at home, etc. are always good ways to study for the tests. 

I will post the home work each day on the google classroom.  I will not put it up on the website.

Grades and Test packets

The last packet of the year will go home next week . I will send upload the grades for the finals, but the tests will not be sent home.

 

 

 

 

 

A/R - Remember to take tests as early and often after the book has been completed.

This year A/R will count for a grade in reading.  Each student will take a placement test (Star Reading Test) in the beginning of each trimester and then will be given a point level to achieve within a book level range.  Please make sure to read early and often to strive to reach the goal and not trying to cram towards the end of the trimester.  I will conference with each student about their new goals and then they will come home to conference with their parent(s) to make sure the goals are okay.  I would like each student to discuss the goal with their parent(s) before sending home the A/R cards to make sure the students feel comfortable with the goal that is set. Please let me know if you have any questions.  A/R points earned and the goal will be on the front of each test packet for you to review each time one goes home. You will be able to keep track of the points needed throughout the year to reach the goal. 

​

I did conference with each student, and we set their goals for the third trimester.  The library will close early this year due to the new project that will be completed on the library this summer.   I would like to lower their goals a little because they will not be able to take out books as long due to the library being closed early this year.  I will speak with each student this week.

Up-Coming Events:

​

​

A/R - Try to read as much as possible so we are not pushing towards the end of the trimester to obtain your goal.  I will be review their goals with them this week for the 3rd trimester.  The library will be closing early this year to begin the renovations and the students will have a shorter time to take out book dur to the early closure. I will adjust the goals accordingly.  

​

Presentations/Listening Quizzes

We are now into the 3rd trimester and we will begin our listening quizzes and presentations for the 3rd Trimester.

​

School Supplies - Please ask you child if he/she does not have erasable blue pens or pencils.  They should be using a pencil for math only and an erasable blue pen for everything else.  

​

Chromebooks - There are still some days that the students get caught up with them during class instruction.  Some have had their chromebooks take away during the day.   I will continue to monitor and remind everyone they are to be used for only what is needed for class instruction.  I will be monitoring them much more closely. They are not permitted for use during lunch or inside recess due to the having food and drink out on the desks.

​

IXL

This program is extra help on the certain topics and skills within math and reading.  Some of the other classes have already been using this site. I wanted to get our routines down and then incorporate this into their work.  There will be some days we work on this in school and other days at home.  On Tuesday I will be giving each student a class code and log-in password.  I will have them write this into their homework copybooks
