Tips for Parents:

  • Need book suggestions?  - Go to www.bookadventure.org
  • Ask to see your child's planner each day.  This planner serves as a wonderful communication tool!
  • Ask to see graded assignments on a daily basis.  I add three points to any signed test, quiz, etc.
  • Check our school's website frequently.  School sports schedules, homework, AR booklists, etc. can be found here!
  • Remind your child to study his/her stems and spelling words each and every night.  A new list will be given every Monday beginning the second week of school.  A spelling and stem meaning quiz will follow each Friday.
  • Make sure your child is reading AT LEAST 20 minutes nightly!  I will monitor at home reading by using the Accelerated Reader Program.  The point goals will always be posted on my teacher web page.
  • Help keep your child's Language Arts binder organized and clean.
  • Call or e-mail at any time!
