All classes will go to the library and have spelling tests weekly. Please encourage your child to study their spelling words.

Students are required to have a book to read at all times. In addition to the option of checking out library books weekly, I maintain a classroom library.

 Most math work is done in math notebooks, which will be collected and graded periodically. Students will have daily (almost) math quizzes based on the previous day’s lesson and homework. I am available most days before school as early as 7:15 and most days after school until 4:15. I encourage your student to take advantage of the opportunity to get one-on-one help when necessary. Additionally, students and/or parents may call me at home, 726-6457, until 9:00 p.m. or any time during the weekend with questions.  

Note for March/April: 6^th and 7^th Grades are reading “Where the Red Fern Grows.” Each student has received a calendar outlining when study guides are due and when quizzes are. Discussion of the book and related vocabulary will take place in class. 8^th grade is reading “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer.” They have also received a calendar outlining dates for study guides and quizzes. Class discussions over vocabulary and major themes/plot will take place daily.
