Dear Parents and Students,
Hello! I am anxious to meet all of you. I hope to use this blog to give you information about our classroom. Please check it frequently with new updates.
My name is Mrs. Wilson. I have been teaching for 29 years! I went to the University of Arizona. I have a Masters Degree in Education. I am married and have 2 children. My daughter, Nicole is 26 and my son Daniel is 23. I also have a pet dog named Lexi. She is a Maltese/Bichon mix.
The following are some procedures that might clear up some questions you might have during the year:
Folders: Every Monday, I will be sending home folders with graded papers. This is for your perusal and for you to check over. The papers will communicate what we are learning in class.
Take the graded papers out of the folder, sign and return the folder the following day. Any "F" papers may be corrected, except tests.
Assignment Sheet: Every Monday, your child will get an assignment sheet for the week. This replaces the planners (too costly). The sheet will need to be filled out and turned in by the end of the week.
Book Orders: Your child will be able to order low cost books from book clubs this year. This is voluntary. Please make out a check for this and do NOT send cash.
Snack: I always have a snack time (optional) and students may bring water bottles to class.
Birthdays: It is okay to send in a treat for your child's birthday (Please follow Amphi food rules).
This is also voluntary. I currently have 26 children. The celebration will be during recess and not during class time.
Parties: Fall festival, Christmas, Valentine and End of the Year.
Newsletter: This will serve as my newsletter. I will try to update often, but for sure monthly. Grades will be a part of this and I will update weekly. However, Amphi is in the middle of a transisition change for grades on line so it may be a few weeks before I can get this started.
Parent Orientation: Our Orientation is Aug. 10 6-6:45. This is an "adult only" evening and will be able discuss your concerns and how I plan on educating your child.
Contacting Me: You may leave me a message at 696-3818 or at SaWilson @amphi.com.
Finally, thank you for entrusting your child to my care this year. I will pledge to provide the guidance and educational environment he/she needs. Please feel free to contact me with your concerns. I look forward to working with you and your child.
Reading: This year your child will be (possibly) changing to another teacher for reading. We are ability grouping to better serve the needs of the students. We will start the first week with reading the novel Stone Fox.
Math: We will start with lines, rays and line segments.
Spelling: Your child will get a list of 20 words on Monday and the test will be Friday.
English: We will start with nouns and verbs.
Social Studies: We will learn the counties of Arizona.
Science: Electricity and Magnets!
