Our Mission:
Our mission is to work TOGETHER each day to LEARN, be a good FRIEND and a positive ROLE MODEL.
Our Classroom
You can find our daily lunch menu and choice chart on the bulletin board directly beside the classroom door, along with our weekly focus areas for each subject and your homework folder. It will be YOUR responsibility to select your lunch and turn your homework in daily. No worries, I will remind you the first two weeks, to help all of us to get back on a schedule.The weekly learning units will be notated in the top right corner of the whiteboard, and all lesson topics will be available on the parents connection link on our classroom's website. Everything has been hand designed for YOUR success and if you or your parents have any questions about the topics, please feel free to reach out. Do know that these topics come directly from the DE Common Core State Standards, and have only been adapted to fit into our specific classroom.
Desk will be set in pairs, students will be partnered up with each other based on strengths and weaknesses. After the beginning of the year assessments are analyzed individualized learning plans will be put in place to ensure all students get the most out of our year together. Students technology and reading corner groups will be based on opportunity areas and will be guided to ensure all children meet and/or exceed Common Core Standards.
(In the corner you will find a clip-shot of what our classroom will look like.)
