Good day everyone!
I am honored to be teaching your children. I highly value each and every student. They are
ALL awesome.
+++ Parents, PLEASE BE AWARE that the grades on-line
are not always current...Please rely on THE INTERIMS AND REPORT CARDS for that. THANK YOU!!!
Please note, I am teaching both Language Arts and Reading.
Please look at the appropriate area on this page to find out what we are doing!
Please encourage your children to visit www.dictionary.com and build their vocabulary.
___LANGUAGE ARTS CLASS!___
Students reviewed the basic skills of writing with me. We used a double-sided
handout to refresh the writing process. We are emphasizing punctuation
as well.
HOMEWORK:
Complete the last section of the handout from today's class.
___READING CLASS!___
Continue working on fcatexplorer.com to help us reach
our goals.
We received our orange Test Ready booklets. They are to remain in class.
We reviewed some question and answer relationships and strategies.
***HOMEWORK***
Every school night, visit www.fcatexplorer.com and work on it for 20 minutes.
Save your work and print out the last page you worked on. Save it to hand
in along with your reading log. On your reading log, you will write down
that you went to www.fcatexplorer.com under TITLE OF MATERIAL READ. You will write
down what you worked on/the last thing you made it to, under REFLECTIONS.
Thank you for your cooperation.
PARENTS AND GUARDIANS,
With my dedication and your child's cooperation, your child will succeed in my class.
I treat my students with the utmost respect, and insist on them respecting me in return.
The following are the basic rules of the class:
1. Come in with a positive attitude, on time, every school day, and be ready to work.
2. Raise your hand and wait to be called on.
3. Keep your hands, feet, and negative comments to yourself.
4. Keep candy, gum, food, soda, etc. out of the classroom.
5. Treat everyone in the room with respect (willingness to show honor, consideration, appreciation, and esteem).
When the rules and order of the room are violated, then consequences occur:
1. Verbal warning to the student
2. Parent contact
3. Detention
4. Referral
*** a book that is a big hit around campus is TWILIGHT by Stephanie Meyer
************All students received our THE WIZARD OF OZ novels. Please
encourage your child to read this as their next novel.
