My Philosophy
• I believe that every child can, will, and must achieve academic success.
• My job is to help develop independent, creative problem-solvers.
• Above all, I value honesty and perseverance.• Teamwork between parent, student, and
teacher is key to a successful year!

Important “Things” Coming Home at Night
Homework• You can expect (short) math homework every might.• Spelling words will typically be sent home on Monday.
I will test them on words approximately 7 days later (not always on a Friday).
• Continue to check my website and your child’s planner for updates.
I will be sending you home with literature on activities you can do with your child at home.

Important “Things” Coming Home at Night
Friday Letter• Most Fridays, your child will be bringing home their
writing journal that will include a “Friday Letter” in which they will write to inform you of some of what they have learned and activities they were involved in throughout the week. Within the letter, they will ask you two questions that you will respond to in writing (in your own letter on the next page). Please print so that your child can read your writing more easily, and please help your child read your responses. The journal should be returned to school no later than Tuesday.

Student Planners/Agendas All homework assignments, as well as
other important information is recorded in their planner.
Parents, please make sure you are looking at the homework assignments and checking that your child has completed them. I want you to be “in the know.”

Reading• What is reading and reading comprehension?– The essence of reading is extracting meaning from
written print.–What can you do to help your child read?– Read with your child every day!– Talk about what you read; summarize, question,
debate, predict, compare, etc. – Make it fun! Find their interests and foster them. Text
is everywhere: magazines, comics, novels, etc.

GradesThis is the first year your child gets traditional
letter grades (A, B, C, D, F). Grades are based on percentages. You can find the breakdown in your handbook or the back of the take-home folder.
REMEMBER – “C” is considered average. Do not punish your child for a “C” (unless they haven’t been trying). “B” and “A” are both above average. While everyone should be striving to be above average, the truth of it is that not everyone will be. That’s why it’s called “average.”

AR• Accelerated Reader is a supplemental tool
designed to encourage students to choose and read books independently at the appropriate level.– Students take a short, computerized
comprehension test after reading a book, which earns points toward their goal.
• AR levels and goals are based on the results of the STAR reading test as well as teacher and student input.
