Classroom ScheduleParent Letter Dear Parents, I hope that you and your family had a nice summer break. I am looking forward to working with you and your child this year. Together, we are a team, and my goal is to provide your child with the best education possible. Our combined enthusiasm and support is an integral part of your child’s success. I have attached information that will help you understand the classroom policies, procedures, and expectations. Although these are the policies now, changes may need to be made, during the school year. Please remember to use our classroom web page. The classroom web page will have information about our classroom and there is also a link for educational web sites, including Accelerated Reader and Saxon Math. I will be updating the web page throughout the year. You can access the web page by going to www.mjusd.com and on the left side of the page click on the link for schools. Click Olivehurst Elementary then on the left side again, click classrooms and you will find the link to the web page for Mrs. Shaw. Due to current budget cuts, we are asking for some donations for students to use in our classroom. At this time, we are in need of boxes of tissue, hand sanitizer, Clorox wipes, and pencils. Any donations would be greatly appreciated. It has been proven that good communication between students, parents, teacher, and the community improves your child’s education. Thank you once again for your time. Let’s work together to create an enriching, challenging, and caring learning environment for your child. If you have, any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me at (530) 741-6191 ext. 5904 or lshaw@mjusd.com Please leave a message and a phone number and I will return your call as soon as possible. I am looking forward to a great year!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Lisa Shaw
Classroom Management
Star Student Every week a student will randomly be chosen to be the “Star Student.” Information will be sent home the Friday before your child is chosen as the “Star Student” with more details. The weekly “Star” will get a chance to share interesting information about him or herself. There will also be other classroom perks for the chosen student. Homework Your child will be given a homework packet at the beginning of the week. He/she is not to do all the work in one night. The cover sheet will inform you of the work assigned for each separate day. The homework packet must be returned daily inside the provided homework folder. The homework cover sheet must be signed by a parent or guardian each night, verifying that your child completed the assigned work. Unfinished classroom assignments may also be sent home as homework as needed. We encourage students to practice basic skills (simple addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts) each night. Flashcards, timed tests, or computer games to practice these facts are suggested for 10 minutes each night. Tests Students will be required to take a spelling test and the weekly standard assessment on Fridays. Every six weeks your child will be given Edusoft Assessments which assess 2nd grade standards in language arts & math. Progress reports of students results will be sent home after all six week assessments have been scored. Classroom Management We utilize the behavior chart system. Students are expected to follow the rules, which are as follows; 1. Make good decisions 2. Show Respect 3. Be a problem solver Students are responsible for the rules, which are posted in the classroom, with the following expectations and consequences: 1. Outstanding (3 classroom credits can be earned) 2. Good Job (2 classroom credits can be earned) 3. Good Day (1 classroom credit can be earned) 4. Ready to Learn (expected behavior) 5. Think about it (warning) 6. Teacher Choice (consequence) 7. Parent Contact (a green note will be sent home with an expected parent signature) Students will have the opportunity throughout the day to move up or down the behavior scale. As always, please call us if you have any questions or concerns. Students who are continually talking may also have to fill out a classroom yellow sheet. 5 yellow sheets during a week will result in a teacher consequence, 10 yellow sheets would require parent contact and 15 yellow sheets in one week would result in a teacher suspension from the classroom.
