Homeroom (cont.)

Library : Our homeroom has scheduled library time on Wednesdays

Students will use this time to return/check out books

Students will need to complete a book review once a semester

​

SSR : Our homeroom will be completing independent reading every Tuesday and Thursday before lunch. Students should have an independent reading book for this (preferably one checked out from our Reutter library, but they can bring one in from home)

​

Enrichment : This is the PERFECT time for students to go to a teacher if they need extra help or have questions. This time will be used for iReady time, band/choir practice, Project Create, and other extra activities. If you are finding that your child is having trouble with a class or a specific topic, remind them to use this time to check in with a teacher.

*Chromebooks should be charged every night*

Google Classroom

• This will mostly be used for classroom assignments and check ins
• You can ask your child to show you any of their completed assignments to see how they are doing with a concept.
• I will post reminders in google classroom about assessments that are coming up.
• I will send out an invitation to receive guardian updates if you are not already linked.

​

​

​

Classdojo

• This will mostly be used for classroom reminders and updates (especially important for homeroom)
• There is a messaging feature, but this will not be checked throughout the school day. Questions are best sent through email. I will not check here throughout the day to relay messages to students.

​

​

Classroom Goals

• collaboration
• foster a growth mindset
• take chances
• make connections

​

​

​

Technology

• Students are responsible for charging their chromebooks at home daily.

​

• Students will use the iReady personalized path. This is set based on their beginning of the year diagnostic assessment and the path adapts based on the needs of each student.

​

• Students will be given time in school, but are required to pass 1 lesson per week on their path. (They may need to work at home, too.)

​

Our Math Goal

All students will take risks with numbers to become fluent and flexible mathematicians.

​

This means students will develop number sense and an ability to represent numbers in a variety of forms and use numbers in diverse situations.

​

Students are working to become accountable, independent, and confident in order to apply math strategies independently. Please encourage independence with any math your student completes at home.

​

Standards-Based Evaluation

​

• In Standards - Based Education, we are grading for learning and the mastery of standards.

​

• Elimination of traditional grading scale.

​

• A student’s report card will encompass several standards and each standard will have a final grade; however, there will not be one overall final grade for Math.
• A chart on standards based grading can be found in your student’s agenda book.

​

​

​

Standards-Based Evaluation

​

• When assigning an end of trimester performance level for each standard, teachers will look beyond the average to ensure the letter reflects the student's current level of learning.

​

• Any further questions regarding Standards Based Grading can be directed to the Curriculum Office.

​

​

Work Habits

Students will receive on their report cards an

(M, P, or N) for each work habit.

​

1. I come to class prepared with materials and ready to learn.
2. I show effort by being focused, on task, and actively participating during lessons.
3. I complete my work in a timely manner.
4. When collaborating with my team or partner, I am prepared and contribute respectfully.
5. I respect myself, others, and my environment by demonstrating self-control and good character.

​

***The teacher and students will review the rubric

in class to see what constitutes as an M, P, and N.

​

***These work habits can also be referenced in your student’s agenda book.

​

Homework

• Unfinished or missing work
• Pass 1 i-Ready lesson per week by Friday
• Students will have time to work

on this in school

• Reinforcement, as needed or requested

​

​

​

General Notes

• Students are responsible for completing all work that they miss while they are absent. Students are responsible for checking in with me when they return from their absence(s).

​

• As stated in the student handbook, students will have one day for each day absent to turn in their work

Example:

3 day absence = 3 days to turn in work

Thank you for visiting our classroom!

I am extremely excited to have all of your students this year! As a class, we will overcome many challenges and celebrate many successes. I am looking forward to a fantastic year with your student!
