  5. GradingGrades are based on the following: • Assignments/Tests • Work Habits • Ability to work independently and in groups • Ability to remain on task • Attitude • Responsibility

  6. Homework • In cooperation with the Shawnee Mission District homework policy, each student is expected to complete 40 minutes of homework each night. Homework is usually not given a grade. Homework assignments are generally reinforcing the skills or strategies learned in the classroom. • Homework assignments are most successful when a parent or adult is available to answer questions and give guidance. Please check your child’s homework before it is returned to school. The goal is to make students responsible learners.

  7. Rocket Math Practice • “Rocket Math” is a program to help students master their math facts. Students begin at multiplication on step A and work through the alphabet. Students need to practice daily and have been taught how to do this. Please set a 1 minute timer and have your child practice the step they are on 2 times each night out loud saying each problem and answer. We will test them on Tuesdays and Fridays. Please keep your “Rocket Math” practice book all year. If your child passes their test on Tuesday, they will need to practice the next step for Friday. They will not be replaced due to cost. • Step you need to begin practicing this week: ___________ • Class average step: ___________

  8. A take-home folder will be going home daily. This is to be emptied and returned to school every morning. It is imperative that parents review work and assignments, along with school and class notes daily. This way you will be aware of your child’s progress by seeing his/her completed work. Not all papers will be graded. Activities may be done independently, with a partner, or even in groups. Please feel free to communicate any questions or concerns by sending a note in your child’s take-home Silver Folder, leaving a voicemail message, or emailing me. Home/School Communication

  9. Birthday Treats • Birthdays are an exciting time. Of course we all love to celebrate them in our classroom. This year, Westwood View is guiding our students to lead healthy, happy lives. Therefore, we ask that no birthday treatsof any kind are sent to school. • I would also like to mention that birthday invitations should be mailed from home and not sent to school so that we do not hurt any feelings.

  10. Students will be given two days to make up work after and absence. Work may be requested by calling the office on the morning of the absence. Work can be sent home with a sibling or be given to the student upon returning to school. If any prolonged illness or other special circumstances interfere with the child being able to make up the work within the time frame, I will always be flexible and willing to make special arrangements. Please contact me at the earliest convenience. Late Work Policy

  11. Second Step • Second Step is a new social skills education program purchased by WWV for students in grades K-6. • On a regular basis, we will be using this program to review: • Skills for learning • Empathy • Emotion management • Problem solving

  12. Classroom Management Our classroom rule is: We will show respect and responsibility at all times.

  13. Fun Friday • Each week, the class will earn minutes towards a “Fun Friday.” • Classes can earn minutes by using the restrooms quickly and quietly, getting compliments from specials teachers, whole-class turning in homework on time, whole-class with no tardies, demonstrating good teamwork, and working appropriately in class. • Some examples of a “Fun Friday” would be stinky feet Friday, SSR at the mini park, and eating lunch in the classroom.

  14. Python Points Python Points are a form of “money” that the kids may earn for good behavior. Students may have to pay a teacher a Python Point for poor choices made during the school day. At the end of the quarter, they have the opportunity to enter a raffle to win prizes.

  15. Classroom Management If a student is disrespectful, he/she will be asked to pull a stick. The following lists the consequences for moving a stick. There will generally be a verbal warning given before sticks are pulled. 1 stick: 5 minutes 2 sticks: 10 minutes 3 sticks: safe seat/buddy room/visit with Mrs. Knight

  16. Recess • We do go out for recess all days that the weather permits. Please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately. • Each recess has extra time built in to allow for any students who may have time taken away.
