About Me...
�Ms. Flanagan- dual majored in elementary/special
education, and I have my master’s degree in educational leadership. This is my 18th year teaching at Pinelands, and my 9th year in self-contained. I’m also the Yearbook, Class of 2027 and Special Olympics advisor. I have 1 dog and 3 “step” children. I love reading and running, and all things “Game of Thrones” =)
My Promise...
�I will provide a positive and stimulating learning environment to foster each child's academic, social and emotional needs. I care about each and every student, and I will provide a balance between nurturing student needs and being firm in my expectations. We will be learning math, science and life skills in my classroom.
Rules for Class...
�CLASSROOM AGREEMENTS:
1. Be respectful- this builds a safe learning environment where students feel comfortable and can focus on academics.
2. Be responsible- as soon to be adults, students will need to be responsible for their own work and behavior (rewards and consequences).
3. Be ready to learn- each day and every period we will be learning, so be ready and have a positive attitude about it.
4. Be a risk taker- be active about your own education and put effort into your work (if you don't try you'll never know if you can do it).
Organization...
�New spiral folders were ordered for the students and each subject has its own color code to help keep things organized. Current material for all subjects will be kept in the folders and material that has been mastered will be filed for the year. Each student has their own file and it will serve as a collection of their hard work and effort by the end of the year. Also, students have take home folders for any information that needs to be shared with parents/guardians.
Community Based Instructional Learning (trips)...
�LIFE SKILLS ONLY- This is for Life Skills students only in my period 3 class. I will be sending home a list of locations and dates, along with a permission slip. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about this.
My Grading...
�Summative Assessment- 50%
(labs, projects, quizzes, tests, assessments)
�Formative Assessment- 50%
(classwork, homework)
Grading System...
The grading system is consistent throughout the entire school, as follows:
