Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year. We will learn and grow as a classroom family this year! Always remember that you are capable of amazing things!
Important Materials
The homework folder will come home on Monday with an AR update log (to be signed by a parent) and graded assignments. Please ask your student about their folder each Monday to see what they are doing. Teamwork is important!I will send information, letters and updates in the folder as well. This is a great way to communicate! Folders may come home on additional days for studying, projects, or special communications... please pay attention to your Class DOJO for updates and reminders!
Writing Portfolio!
Students work hard on their writing all year long! Students will collect their best samples of writing in a portfolio. We will display our “Writer's portfolio” on Young Author's Day at the end of the year!
Class Points
Students will earn class points that will result in choice incentives like homework passes, extra points, snacks, and free recess! The students will work together as a team to earn a celebration! They will get to vote on the reward of their choice.
Leader of the Week
Each week one student will be selected as our “Leader” based on work completion, effort and teamwork. Their picture will be displayed all week and special privileges will be granted. The students will enjoy special seating, acknowledgement, and Leader incentives.
At the beginning of each school year, we get rid of our "I can't" statements and work on turning them into "I can." Even when things get tough, we make sure to never say "I can't."
Spelling News! Although our new curriculum does include spelling, it is not a weekly routine. All spelling activities will be completed in the classroom, and on occasion as possible homework.
