Class Information
Thursday Work Folders: We will be using a "Thursday Work Folder" this school year. I will put any graded work form the week into your child's Thursday Folder. On Thursdays when we pack up, your child will get his/her folder. Inside will be all of his/her work form the past week along with a check-in sheet. Please review work with your child. Feel free to write down questions, concerns, words of encouragement in the comment section.
Snack: Students are allowed to have ONE snack every day. I allow students to eat their snack at any point before lunch. Our bodies are all different, so I don't like to set a certain time for students to eat snack.
Homework: I do not assign daily homework, but highly encourage nightly reading. I will occasionally send home extra practice sheets for students to review skills before a test. I will be sure to notify you if I do send home extra practices or study guides.
Teacher-Parent Communication: This year we will use Class Dojo to track student behavior. Each day, your child has the opportunity to earn positive & negative points based on his/her behavior. Class Dojo allows me to send quick messages straight to your cell phone. I will use this to post class reminders, updates, and pictures. You do not need a smartphone to receive messages. Class Dojo can also be used on a computer. The Class Dojo app (free for iPhone & Android) also allows you to send messages to me. This is by far the best way to contact me, as I frequently see these messages before emails!
