  1. Curriculum Night We’ll get started at 7:00. While you wait, please check out your student’s work in the hallway. Feel free to move chairs around as needed. Mr. SouthwoodAugust 23, 2018

  2. Compact School compact was developed to create a common language between school and home. Our school compact outlines the responsibilities for parents, students and staff. Research shows schools are most effective when all parties understand their role and there is cohesiveness between home and school. Please read and review the compact at home with your student.

  3. Staff and Schedules • If your child is absent and you’d like someone to bring his or her work home, please contact me early so I’ll have time to put it together.

  4. Rewards • Class: Connect 10! • Individual: Class Dojo points

  5. Consequences • Warning • Lose period’s Lotto Ball • Cross off SOAR! Letter and lose 3 minutes of Friday free time • Time-out • Letter home

  6. Grades • Following standards-based grading for math and language arts, students will receive “Meets” or “Does not Meet” for each component. • 5th graders will also receive letter grades for Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies. 90% - 100% = A 80% - 89% = B 70% - 79% = C 60% - 69% = D 59% and below = F

  7. Standards-Based Grading PCCSD202 curriculum is aligned to Illinois Common Core State Standards. Grades reflect the proficiency levels of each component (skill) providing more detailed information about student achievement. Students who do not demonstrate mastery will receive additional instruction and assessment in that component.

  8. Homework • Your child should have homework most nights • This will reinforce work done in school and develop time-management skills • I don’t want homework to become overwhelming, though. If your child is really struggling with something, have them complete what they can and just try their best with the rest • I’ll take problems not completed if I see they tried

  9. Assignment Notebooks (Planners) • We will fill these out every day • I’ll check every day to make sure they’ve filled it out • I encourage families to look them over together, but you don’t have to sign or initial

  10. Scholastic Orders • If you return the paper order form, checks (made out to Scholastic Reading Club) work best • But, I will take cash if it’s exact • If you order online, use our activation code GQLRL to make sure your order gets attached to our class

  11. Lunch Money • Please send lunch $ in an envelope or baggy clearly labeled with student’s name and “Lunch Money” • Hot lunch this year is $2.45 • Milk is $0.50

  12. Water Bottles and Cough Drops • Please don’t freeze water bottles or put ice in them…they sweat on desks and get everything wet • Students can bring in up to 10 cough drops to keep in the classroom and take 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon

  13. Cell Phones • Cell phones should be off and in backpacks • If out during the day, they will be confiscated • I’ll contact you and you can come pick it up if you would like; otherwise, I’ll give it back to the student at the end of the next school day

  14. Reading Workshop • Shared Reading – Introduce and model strategies • Guided Reading – Practice in small groups • Independent Reading – Students apply learned strategies

  15. Close Reading • Multiple readings to determine what the text says, figure out how it works, and analyze and compare the text • Questions should be text dependent and students will prove their answers with evidence from the text • We don’t close read everything (recreational reading)

  16. Writing Workshop • We’ll write narrative, informative, persuasive, and research pieces • I use a workshop setting to allow students to develop their independent and creative writing skills

  17. Word Study (Words their Way) • We’ll focus on both spelling and vocab • Look in their planner for their list of 10 words each week • Each group will have their test on one of the A-B-C-D-E days • On the test, I’ll also give them 2 extra words to spell to see if they can apply the sort to words they didn’t study

  18. Science • Q1: Classification and cells • Q2: Animals • Q3: Human body systems • Q4: Plants

  19. Social Studies • Q1: Native Americans and early European explorers • Q2: Revolutionary War • Q3: Westward expansion • Q4: Civil War

  20. Math • Common Core asks students to struggle with complex problems and come up with different solutions • We’ll take notes as much as possible so you can see “how it was taught” • We’ll cover: place value, computation, fractions, geometry, conversions, expresions and patterns, & data

  21. Assessments • I-Ready • OLSAT • P.A.R.C. • D.R.A. may be given to select students when more data is necessary to help them improve as readers

  22. At Home • Multiplication Facts • Read and discuss reading • Work on Word Study

  23. Stay Connected • Class Website • Remind App • Class Dojo
