6. Math: I’ll be teaching math
Math: I’ll be teaching math. We will practice math facts and problem solving with every lesson. We will do a lesson a day unless we have interruptions in our schedule. Any problems they don’t finish in class or study hall will be homework and due the next morning. We will have a test after every 5 lessons.
Reading: I’ll be teaching reading. We will have new vocabulary words, reading skills and strategies every week or two. We will occasionally have stories and organizers that will need to be completed for homework. Tests/quizzes will be given after we’ve had sufficient practice with the skills and strategies we’re working on. Several times this year we will split up the kids and they will go to another teacher for a specific novel to read.
Social Studies: I’ll be teaching social studies this year. We will read about history, take notes, and complete projects. We will also be reading the newspaper and sharing what we learned about current events.
Science: Mrs. Milbrandt English/Writing: Mr. Burgad

7. My homework policy is homework is due on the date that I assign it unless you are absent that day. Please check your child’s planner each night for homework and initial to verify. It is important that the children get in the habit of bringing their planner back and forth every day, even if they don’t have homework. Please let me know if it isn’t making it home each night.
Every week each student is responsible for studying their spelling words and completing their assignments. A copy of my homework policy is was mailed to you to read with your child, sign, and return to school.
