Management Plan: Our classroom will run like its own little community. The students will each be giving jobs that they are in charge of. They will receive fines and tickets based on behavior, and paychecks for completing their jobs. We feel that this will teach the students responsibility and helps them be more connected to their class. As a class we will come up with what things will be fined (chewing gum, disrupting the class, for example) and how much they will be fined. Those with excellent behavior will be given bonuses. Students are saving their money to get into a class party. There they will be able to spend their extra money earned on different privileges and treats.
Subjects: Mrs. Bird will be teaching in the mornings and the subjects of Math, Science, and Social Studies. We know that many are concerned about the math core for this year. It will be tough but we know that the students will be able to understand all the concepts and feel success in this area. Science is taught by all the sixth grade teachers through rotations. This gives them a feel for having more than one teacher and helps prepare for Jr. High.
Ms. Blaisdell will teach in the afternoon and cover all the literacy subjects consisting of: comprehension, book groups, writing, spelling & vocabulary. Look for weekly spelling lists and vocabulary words to come home every monday. There will also be opportunities for parents help in the classroom in some of these areas.
Homework will be handed out every Monday and collected on Friday. Parents are asked to always check their child's work. There is an area for parent signature, and this is worth homework points.
Please make sure students promptly to school each day. The first bell rings at 8:55, and learning begins immediately. The class goes to lunch from 11:30-12:05. They are released from school at 3:15.
