We are off to a new 6 weeks and I just wanted to let you know some expectations that I hold for the students in my class. My hope is that if I know what is expected, you know, and they know then we have a better chance at getting the kids to complete the assignments and do them well. So I have listed different assignments below that the students typically have in a week. Please be mindful that schedules change, lessons change, and other interruptions occur so these things can be absent in a week but for most weeks they will be there.
Assignments for grades:
-Spelling city activities (They have 1 week to do these in spare time or at home)
-Spelling and Vocabulary Tests on Monday
-Daily reading of 30mins with parent initials
-Social Studies project weekly (They are given time in class to work on but most take them home to complete 1 to 2 nights a week)
Other information:
-We have class captains every week, the class captain’s job is to bring a fun snack on Friday.
Please note that if you have any questions or your child has a question I am happy to answer and work with you both. My ultimate goal is for the students to learn content, responsibility, and good character throughout the year. Please feel free to contact me! Thank you for all you do.
