Rules & Procedures

Rules: I have three rules in my classroom:

• Be Responsible
• Be Respectful
• Be Safe

Class dojo: We will be using classdojo as a reward system to show parents how their child is doing.

Be Involved

Reading Time: Reading at home is an extremely beneficial activity. It is recommended that your child reads at least 100 minutes each week at home divided up in whatever way works with your schedule. It is important that the types of reading vary.  The 100 minutes includes your child reading independently, reading with someone, and being read to.

Math Facts:  It is important that your child becomes fluent in multiplication this year.  Fluent means being able to solve facts quickly.  Please practice math with your child.

Star Student

Monday: Sharing  bring 3 special items to share.

Tuesday: Favorite Book bring or share about their favorite picture book.

Wednesday: Parent Letter,  letter from parent/guardian telling why your child is special.
