K-7 2022-2023 GOALS
To cultivate a community within the classroom, have fun while learning, encourage curiosity across all subjects, and to share and learn from one another. Ultimately, to prepare your child for first grade and their future as readers, writers, scientists, mathmeticians, artists, etc.
KINDERGARTEN EXPECTATIONS
Homework:
Students have homework Monday –Thursday. Each homework assignment is due the following day. Sight Words are given on Monday and are expected to be reviewed nightly for memorization. Weekly Poetry Journals go home on Fridays to be read with families and returned on Monday. Homework can provide students with additional practice and repetition. Having your child spend 10 minutes practicing something outside of school is an opportunity to get in some of that extra practice. Homework will be posted daily on this teacher web page. Please visit "Homework" subpage.
Participation:
All students are encouraged and expected to participate in all classroom activities to the best of their abilities. This includes: morning meeting, rug activities (games, songs, reading, etc.), classwork/academic lessons, reading groups and independent learning centers.
Behavior:
Students are expected to respect all teachers and classmates, follow established routines and safety rules, and raise their hand to speak, remain in their seat, listen attentively, follow directions, maintain self-control, work cooperatively and work independently.
