PARENT+NIGHT+PRESENTATION

• Schedule - We have a busy day, so students need to be on task at all times. Please do not check students out during academic times. We are working on core content areas and it is important for students to be here for instruction.

HW is given Mon-Thurs for 30-45 minutes in addition to reading for at least 20 minutes. There are also long-term projects. Homework is announced and recorded every day together. Students are responsible for copying assignments down each day in their planner. Directions for HW are thoroughly covered in class and students are reminded several times of what to put in his/her backpack. This year my goal is to focus homework mainly on Reading and math. Homework is not complete until it is in the backpack
 * Homework- purpose of homework is to reinforce skills learned in class

Pink Slips- students are given these slips when they don’t turn in an assignment. After three missed homework assignments in any one subject, Mrs. Wood will send a letter home to be signed and returned.

Monthly Reading Logs: Must turn this in the last day of every month- keeps track of reading at home.  This is a way to assess their reading and check in with their independent reading.

Star student- is announced each Friday. The star student will have the opportunity to be our line leader and help the teacher in and out of the classroom. The star student is picked randomly each week.

Study Skills - we have spent the past week working on organization of all belongings (desk, cubby, bucket)- Every item has a specific place! Joy and Nancy will continue teaching lessons for the next 4 weeks.
