    Welcome Parents!  I am very excited about being your child’s teacher! We are going to have a great year!

     

    Listed below are some of the highlights for this school year.

     

     Some of the topics we will be covering in Math include:

     

                 *      addition, subtraction (2-digit, 3-digit)

    *      time, money, graphing

     

     

    In Religion we will be focusing on:

     

                  *      First Holy Communion

                  *     The Ten Commandments
                  *      First Penance
     

     In Language Arts we will be:

      

    *      reading many stories of different genres,including poetry

                  *      completing many activities to accompany the stories

     *      studying Phonics and Grammar

     *       working on Handwriting/ Cursive Writing
     
    There will be many fun projects throughout the year.
     
    We will have silent reading time after lunch so the students are required to have a pleasure reading book in their desks.
     

    Book Reports will be assigned several times a year.  The students will have approximately two weeks to finish their books and complete the follow-up report or  activity.

     

     

    Tests are to be signed and returned.  All other papers may be taken out and kept.
     
    Homework is assigned Monday though Thursday, and sometimes on the weekends for a project.
     
     
    Behavior
     

    I use an individual incentive system for good behavior. When I see good behavior or helping others, I will give the student a ticket. I will also take a ticket for bad choices. When the student has a certain number of tickets, they may get a fun pencil or small toy from the prize box. 

     

    Correspondence

     

    Send in any notes you have for me or the office in your child’s folder.  This way I am aware of any concerns you have any changes in your child’s way of getting home, etc.  If it is easier, you can send an e-mail to me.  I check several times a day.  My e-mail address is aroos@sainttheresaschool.org.
     
     
    **Please CC the School Office when sending an email.  I may have a substitute teacher that day and they will not be able to access my email.
     
     
    Website/Newsletter
     
    Please check my website and Google Calendar for homework assignments, upcoming events, and fun websites you and your child can do at home.
     
    I have a weekly newsletter that indicates what we are doing in Math, Religion, Language Arts, and Science/Social Studies.  Upcoming events and wish list are also on the newsletter.
     
     

    Treats

     

    Students may bring in healthy snacks for afternoon recess. No candy is allowed.

     

    Cupcakes,brownies, etc. are acceptable for a birthday treat.  Please bring only the amount of the number of students in the class. 

     

    I welcome any help that you can offer.  I know that this will be a successful and exciting year for all of us!
