  4. Student Expectations The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given the wish to learn.  ~John Lubbock A. Assignment Books * (Possibly) Signed by an adult each night B. Weekly Folders / Red Folders *Contain work from the previous week as well as important forms such as permission slips for field trips. C. Writers’ Notebooks * Brought home to share writing with family members. D. Behavior * All students are expected to follow all school and classroom rules to ensure that all class members are safe and happy! :)

  5. Homework Policy I like a teacher who gives you something to take home to think about besides homework. ~Lily Tomlin as "Edith Ann” • Students are responsible for recording assignments accurately inside their assignment book each night, and completing all assignments on time. • Parents, please check (and initial) the assignment book each night. • Parents and students should establish a homework routine by finding a quiet area that is well lit in which to work each day. • Please check your child’s work (even if they say it’s done!) before they hand it in. • In addition to other homework assigned, I encourage students to read for at 15 minutes each night. • In

  8. Writing • Students in Room 86 will begin the process of maintaining a Writers’ Notebook. • The Notebook will consist of all three types of writing: Persuasive, Expository, and Narrative. • Please look for this notebook to come home several times this year. Look through your child’s writing and enjoy viewing their progress!

  9. Testing • P.S.S.A. Reading and Math assessment window: March 12-23, 2012 • P.S.S.A. Writing Assessment window: March 16-20, 2012 • District Developed Writing assessments and A.I.M.S. Web Reading are administered three times per year: Once in the fall, once in the winter, and once in the spring. • MAP (Math) will also be tested in fall, winter, and spring.

  10. Field Trips • Fifth Grade will enjoy three field trips this school year. • In the past… *Recycling Center *Fort Roberdeau *PSU Geology Department *Gettysburg *Also several speakers scheduled throughout the year! All volunteers are appreciated. If there is a large number of volunteers for one particular trip, I will do a drawing to be fair to all.

  11. Star Student! • Each week a new student from our class will be our “Star.” Please look for the information regarding our Star Student to come home the Friday before your child’s turn. • Star Students are encouraged to bring in pictures to share throughout the week, as well as bring in “Show and Tell” items for Friday’s celebration.

  12. Projects/ Minute to Win It • Students will have 4 Book Projects this year. These four books will be read by the students outside of our instructional time. They will be given adequate time to work on these (3-4 weeks)…but will need to manage their time wisely. • Minute to Win It • Our class will participate in several activities from the show ( on Fun Friday’s). Sometimes this activity is open to the whole class or small groups, however other times it will depend on points and/or behavior.

  13. Your child will now give you a tour of Room 86. Remember to check and see what is hanging in the hallway. Please enjoy exploring our classroom and feel free to ask any questions during this time. Leave completed permission slips and conference time preferences on your child’s desk. Thank you for coming, and for supporting the work that we do each and every day. I look forward to working with you this year!
