  the absence.

  child is ever going home a different way than
  usual.

Behavior Plan
Your child has a chance to earn big bucks all
week long. When they earn 5 big bucks, they get
a chance to pick something out of our treasure
chest. Your child can also lose big bucks if
their behavior is not doing very good!

Language Arts

• We use the Harcourt Language Art series to teach
  your child to read. We combine phonics and whole
  language to teach your child how to decode words
  and learn to read.

  They will have a reading center, writing center,
  letter of the week center, computer center,
  phonics center, and an independent reading
  center.

13

• We use the Harcourt Language Art series to teach
  your child to read. I combine phonics and whole
  language to teach your child how to decode words
  and learn to read. I have many of my own books
  that I use also. I try to do what is best for
  your child. If they are ready for a more
  challenging book, I give them what they need
  not just the next book in the series!!

14
Green Reading Folders

• Starting after tonight, a green reading folder
  will be coming home. Inside will be a reading
  guide and book. There will be specific things
  that you will have to do with your child. It is
  to be read the night that it is sent home.
  Please set a good example now for doing homework.

15
Math

• We are very excited that we have received a new
  math series. We have the Houghton Mifflin Math
  series. Houghton Mifflin created a math series
  centered around our Georgia Performance
  standards. In this series, your child gets
  his/her own workbook and practice workbook.

16

• Each day your child will participate in 4
  different math centers. By putting your child in
  small groups like this they will learn much more
  and will receive individualized attention.

17
Side Note

• I would love to have volunteers for both LA
  centers and math centers. In a perfect world I
  would have 1 parent every day for each session.
  Please let me know if you are able to do any
  weekly volunteering. Even if you want to come
  for one session one day and another on a
  different day I will work with your schedule!!!!
