You will find that I use schoolnotes as a source of communication between students, parents, and myself. Please go over some important information with your child regarding our classroom. If you have any questions, you may email me from this website. Just go back to the top of the page.

  •     Try some of the math links at the bottom of this page
     

  • Mrs. Elm’s Classroom Management

  • Please go over this with your child.

  • TEACHER’S RULES

    · I teach when there are no distractions

    · I listen to one person at a time.

    · I listen to people who have their hands up.

    · I send people for breaks, bathrooms, and pencil sharpening when I’m not instructing.

    I feel that if all students could follow this and RESPECT each other we will have a successful year. I also give rewards and incentives to students who continue to be RESPECTFUL in the classroom as well as outside the classroom. This goes hand in hand in becoming a SELF-MANAGER in the school. As a SELF-MANAGER you will be rewarded several privileges and treat parties. I believe that we should ALL be SELF-MANAGERS.

    Along with my Teachers' Rules,  Armin Jahr also has school wide rules that each student is expected to follow.

    *As a student at Armin Jahr, I will:

    • Be Safe
    • Be Respectful
    • Be Responsible

    Mrs. Elm’s HOMEWORK POLICY

    In lieu of newsletters, please refer to the Homework Planner and/or this website each night to be up- to -date with what is going on in our classroom. Newsletters will be sent home occasionally. The Homework Planner is a great communication tool that we will use to write comments back and forth. Thank-you for your support. We look forward to working with you this school year.

    • Homework is additional practice to help your child become a better learner. It shouldn’t be a chore to do. Students shouldn’t spend more than 40 minutes each night on their homework.
    • Students who turn in their homework daily will become a HOMEWORK LEADER. At the end of the month, students who are LEADERS will have privileges to choose from:

    * Extra computer time *Extra library time *A trip to the treat basket*Monthly celebrations

    HOMEWORK

     Homework will include but not limited to:

    1. READ for 20 minutes/Reading a chapter book *Please have your child read aloud to you and discuss what they have just read. (characters, setting, problem, solution, main idea, etc. )

    3. Writing Practice

     4. Science/Social Studies/Art Activities
