Voices From Home
I invite you to participate in my Voices from Home program. I believe great teaching comes from setting great examples, both at home and in the community. Voices from Home gives the students a chance to see an adult modeling how to read aloud, how to speak in front of a group, and how to answer questions. It also serves as a wonderful opportunity for them to learn about the various educations and jobs our parents have.
It's easy! All you need is to volunteer about 20 minutes of your time. You can bring a picture book to read to the class or I'm happy to lend you one. Then, you introduce yourself, read the book aloud, and answer a few questions about yourself. Email me if you are interested! |
Team Goals
* Students will be actively involved in the learning process.
* Students will be proficient with grade level content and skills. * Students will become organized, independent learners and leaders. * Students will successfully work within cooperative activities. * Students will develop self-confidence and goal setting. |
Leader of the WeekEach week a student will be chosen as a Leader of the Week. Parents write a letter about why their child is a Leader. This is a special opportunity every student gets to show off what is important to them. I invite you to come read your letter to the class. Leader of the Week presentations are on Monday mornings at 8:15am.
Birthdays
Birthdays are an exciting time for elementary school kids. Please feel free to donate a small treat (one oreo or cookie per child) to help celebrate your child's special day at the end of the school day. Please do not send gift bags or additional goodies. Save those for your home party.
Please make sure there is enough for each child in the class, usually 25 kids. You can just send it with your student and we'll sing our unique "Happy Birthday" at the end of the day. If your child's birthday is during the summer, feel free to celebrate in September or June. |
