Welcome Back 5th graders

Welcome Back to School!!

WELCOME PARENTS!!

THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING OUR FIRST PARENT MEETING OF THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR!!  THE STUDENTS AND I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT OUR CLASSROOM EXPECTATIONS AND OUR LEARNING GOALS, AS WELL AS OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION.  RESEARCH HAS PROVEN THAT STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT IS HIGHTER WHEN THE SCHOOL, TEACHER, AND PARENT TAKE PART IN THE LEARNING PROCESS.

HOMEWORK

I am not a big believer in a lot of homework.  Any homework your student will receive will be an extension of the learning day.

Reading is the most important homework your student will get daily.  They are to read for a minimum of 30 minutes and are to log what they have read, along with a parent signature.  Reading is not only an academic skill, but a life skill.  Everything you do in life involves reading!  Please ask your child what they are reading and ask them questions!!

We also have many computer learning websites that we can track students work and growth.  MYON, MOBYMAX, AND KHANACADEMY are just a few of the websites.  All students know their login and how to use the sites to their full potential.  Other valuable websites are listed on the school blog.

LUNCH

Our lunch time is;

12:00-12:30

Students are encouraged to bring in a healthy snack and a bottle of water.  It’s important to keep our bodies hydrated and energized.

POSITIVE BEHAVIOR PLAN

THIS YEAR OUR CLASS WILL BE USING CLASS DOJO FOR MANAGING OUR CLASS POSITIVE BEHAVIOR.  I HAVE INCLUDED IN YOUR WELCOME PACKET PARENT INVITES TO ELECTRONICALLY SIGN UP FOR CLASS DOJO FROM HOME.  IF YOU SIGN UP, YOU WILL ALWAYS BE ABLE TO STAY CONNECTED AND MONITOR YOUR CHILD’S GROWTH AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE STAYING ON TASK AND WORKING HARD TO REACH THEIR GOALS.

BEING A 5^TH GRADE STUDENT ENABLES THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN MORE SCHOOL ACTIVITIES, SUCH AS BAND AND SERVICE/SAFETY SQUAD AMONG MANY OTHER AFTER SCHOOL CLUBS.  MORE INFORMATION WILL COME SOON.

Communication between parent, student and school is so important.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me.

My email address is:  wagnerj@dearbornschools.org

Thank you for your support,

Mrs. Wagner
