What will we learn about this year? Prefixes, roots, suffixes, spelling rules, vocabulary, reading comprehension skills, word sorts, syllable types, short stories, and much more!
Outside Reading Books Get excited for lots of Reading! Your homework for this class is to read at least 30 minutes a night from an outside reading book. You are expected to bring this book with you to class everyday. You will need to have your first outside reading book by Friday August 30th (Day 1 classes) or Tuesday September 3rd (Day 2 classes).
Grading Policy: • Students will receive a pass/fail grade based on: • Class Activities, Assignments, and Assessments • Homework • Students will read a minimum of 30 minutes per night from the book that I have approved. I typically only suggest or approve books that match a student’s interests and independent reading level. Students will periodically complete assignments based on their independent reading books, which will also be included in this category. • Other Considerations: • Participation/Preparation: Student participation and preparation will be reported through parent communication and behavior standards on report cards. A student’s participation marks on behavior standards will reflect their contributions to class exercises and discussion, group work, and attentiveness. The student should demonstrate a willingness to learn and a high level of motivation. Students are prepared if they have brought their outside reading book, pencil, notes, handouts and any assignments that are being worked on or are due.
Procedures: Report to class on time and prepared. For this class you will need a binder that I will provide you with. These materials will likely be kept in the classroom. You will also need to have your individual reading book, reading log, and pencil. Upon entering the room, please read the board for important directions about where to go and what to bring.
Procedures: You will go to the bathroom before or after class. In an emergency, please speak with a teacher about using the bathroom. You must ask permission to leave the class for any reason, including getting a drink. Please take the hall pass if you are given permission. If the hall pass is in use, wait until it is returned before leaving. If you are absent, it is your responsibility to find out what you have missed from one of your classmates or teachers. If there were any handouts given, they will be waiting for you in the absences folder. You may also find pertinent information on my teacher web page. The number of days you are absent will be the number of days you have to make up any work.
Rules: Respect your teacher and your classmates. Do not distract the teacher from teaching or the students from learning. Arrive to class on time, prepared, and ready to work to your full potential each day. Follow all directions the first time they are given. All rules set forth in the HKMS student handbook apply in this classroom.
Consequences: First Offense – Warning Second Offense – Lunch detention and phone call home. Third Offense – Field trip to Mr. English’s office.
Rewards: A teacher may reward you with a ticket if you are behaving in an exceptional manner, working hard, and following directions. 3 Tickets – Candy 8 Tickets – Homework Pass Break Time is also a reward that may be added to or taken away from.
