Our Summit Hill District expectations for all staff and students are “the 3 BE’s”. BE respectful BE responsible BE safe.
2
Cool Tools (mini lessons) Students who are good examples of the 3 BE’s will earn paws to be spent in “Paw Mart” once a week. Students who do all homework and follow the “Walker Way” will earn a reward at the end of the week, a coupon at the end of the month, and a special reward at the end of the quarter.

1 st time = Slip in pocket 2 nd time = Another slip and miss intramurals 3 rd time = Another slip, miss intramurals, plus write reflection and get it signed. 4 th time = A minor. Formal slip goes home, lunch detention, conference with parents and principal (if necessary). Pockets are cleaned every month.

For reading, we will mostly use our new “Journeys” series. Stories will have vocabulary to study. Quiz time will be written in the assignment notebook. Study notes and D.O.L. in spiral for grammar. The “6 traits” of writing will be incorporated into all writing assignments. Read 20 minutes 20 days/month. Sign calendar. Return each calendar by the beginning of a new month.
5
New common core series Go Math covers: +, -, x, ÷ whole numbers, decimals, fractions graphing, measurement, geometry, volume PLEASE STUDY MATH FACTS!!!! Go Math is concept-based not just memorization. Pictures and drawings are common. Math book is soft-cover. Homework follows the lesson from previous pages. Yes, it is OK to help your child. Think Central also has great help on- line. Notes are also in math spiral!
6
The social studies website is http://www.sfsocialstudies.com http://www.sfsocialstudies.com Notes and study guides are used for chapter tests. Most notes are in spiral. We will start with chapter 6 on colonization. You will be notified about in-school and at- home projects so you can help encourage your child to do quality work.
7
The topics we will be studying have concepts related to matter, energy/ecosystems, earth’s systems, and motion/forces. Notes are in the spiral notebook.

I try to NOT assign homework on Fridays, but on occasion it may be necessary. BUT… Every Friday students get a math motivator sheet. It will be due the following Friday. They must show their work. You may check it. Every Friday they get a language packet. The pages are marked to be due on the upcoming Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday.
9
Every day students should: ◦ WRITE DOWN THE HOMEWORK ◦ DO THE HOMEWORK ◦ GET ASSIGNMENT NOTEBOOK SIGNED ◦ BRING BACK THE HOMEWORK
10
1 st day - Slip in pocket. Complete pink slip and get it signed. Return the assignment and pink slip the next day. You may complete assignment in study hall. 2 nd day- If not returned, parents will be contacted. After that it could earn a 0%. After 3 pink slips, you will earn a minor, to be signed by parents, and a lunch detention. Three minors will earn a major, and you will meet with the principal. Pockets are cleaned every month.
11
Completed assignment notebook (AN) comes home each night. No blank days. Put an X or NONE. Parent signs it to confirm knowledge of the work to do. (3 missing signatures/week= slip in pocket) After the first quarter, responsible students will earn the privilege of not having to get it signed. (They still need to do the work though) A copy of the homework is posted on my website to use as a backup. They do not need to be signed on Fridays.
12
It comes home every Friday with papers from the week. Parents sign and return folder on Monday. If not returned by Tuesday, miss intramurals until it is returned. Sticker given if all papers are above 70%. Papers below 70% will be listed on folder. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
13
A child who is absent is allowed 1 day for each absent day to make up work. If possible, it helps to have the missing work sent home so the child can keep up and understand the new lesson upon return to school.
14
Please remember to review the student handbook, especially the weapon policy and dress code.
15
My goal is to save the earth. I’m putting this on my web page instead of printing it. I also encourage students to use the back of their paper. I reuse paper too. I highly encourage the use of reusable water bottles. I put the weekly newsletter on my website.
