My Goals and Expectations My goal is to help and encourage each student to reach their full potential as a 6th grader so they can move onto 7th grade with confidence. My expectations for each student is that they will respect themselves, their classmates and their teachers by ALWAYS being their best selves. (Respect Chart)

Baby Picture for student of the week. You will get it back.

We will let you know the date as soon as possible. Summer Reading Paper We will let you know the date as soon as possible.

Book orders from scholastic will be available. You can order on-line or with the order form that comes with the booklet. (Make checks out to Scholastic) Great way to have books for the 40 Book Challenge. If you would like to order on-line, follow the instruction on the paper in the folder.

40 Books Challenge/6th grade goal. 10 Books every quarter. * Recording sheet will be kept here at school. * Titles of the books/ number of pages. * Books that reach 300 pages can count for 2 books. Novel reading in class goes toward the challenge. Graded/ Requirement (When students get done early with their work, they need to be pull out their own novel and read. They always need a book in their desk that they can read.)

Portal Portal Portal Please use the portal to be informed. Your Student’s grades should never be a surprise. ( At Wahlquist next year, that will be all the teachers use.)

Mailbox Keep your papers for the quarter. Take the papers home and store under your bed in a box or something.

Volunteer Paper PTA Volunteer Sign Up There is a volunteer sign up for my classroom in the back. Leave your name and phone number and I will call you on the type of help I need so you can make a decision.

Late work: partial credit except when absent / put in the bin. Family problem that kept your student from getting their work done, then write me a note, I will give them another day.

Missing work will be marked yes or no on Fridays Planners Keep daily Stamped on Mondays Missing work will be marked yes or no on Fridays Sign and record reading days on the weekend. Bring back on Monday Check Portal (Lots of time and money is spent on the portal so parents will always be informed as to how their student is doing. Always updated Wednesday afternoon.) Planners are required and will be graded (Wonderful skill for Wahlquist) Please leave planners on their desks ready for school. Notice the student ID and email is taped in the planner, they will be using that information.

Math Proficiency Stay in the Struggle you can do it !!!!!!!!!!! Math website- http://my.hrw.com/ (Log on and become familiar with this program.) Any concept can be googled to find videos for reteaching.

Cooperative learning and table work. 1.One of the greatest skills a person can develop is working well with others and being part of a group that you contribute to as you accomplish a task. 2. Having the desks set up in table format is very important to me in helping the students develop this skill. 3.Tables are changed often. So they will be with different students throughout the year. 4.Encouragement from home in taking advantage of each new group your students find themselves part of will help them learn and grow. 5. The whole year will include many different cooperative learning activities.

Goal Sheet Write a academic goal that will truly make a difference for you. Example: I want to understand all new math concepts. Reaching the goal: I will do everything I can to make sure I understand the math concept that is taught each day. Examples of what I might do are use the videos for the math program, ask more questions when Mrs. Adams is teaching, get extra one on one from my teacher, and put more effort into my learning. This will be used in their PTC. Please bring it back to school tomorrow if possible.

Line up is behind the fence not at the door for Mr. Stephens and myself. We will let you in when it is time to come to the door. If you need to meet with me in the next few days, the sign up for that is in the back. There will not be a lot of math homework if they are working hard in class. There will be a couple of problems each day to show you what we are learning and that they are understanding it. Reading 5 days of the week is regular homework. If they don’t get something done in class, it could become homework. ( Staying on task will take care of that.)

I am so excited to get to know each of your students I am so excited to get to know each of your students. Please communicate with me when you have concerns. I love being a teacher. I know it will be an exciting year getting ready for 7th grade.
