My Goals To give you the academic and social
skills you need to progress to fifth grade.
To provide a supportive and fun classroom environment.
To help you make new friends and discover new interests.
Class Subjects The subjects we will cover during my
class are: Math Spelling Handwriting
Math ABC’s of Math requires you to
use critical thinking skills. You must read the problem,
draw a picture, write a complete number sentence, and always finish with a label. For example:
2 dogs + 3 dogs = 5 dogs 4 bears + 6 lions = 10 animals
ABC’s of Math also drills basic math facts. These facts will be timed and tested weekly. You must master these facts in fourth grade. I encourage you to practice your facts each day.
Classroom Community
Our classroom is a community. In our community, we have rules to help us get along with each other.
Our basic class rules are: Be respectful and responsible. Be organized and follow directions. Be on time. Be prepared.
Homework You are responsible for completing your homework
each night. Homework is always copied in your planner. I will assign homework every night. You may need to
practice facts daily, flash cards are helpful. Your homework is due every morning. If homework is not completed, you will work on it at
recess. This will also be marked on your discipline card.
Tardiness School starts at 8:05 A.M. Morning work is assigned each day. If you
are late, this will be assigned for homework. If you aren’t in the classroom by the time the
bell rings, please check in at the school office before coming to class.
Let’s Have a Great Year!
