*Be on time! It's important to come to school on time. Attendance will be taken right at 9:00am and the lesson will begin. If you're late, please go to the office for a late slip before you come to class. If you are sick and cannot come to school, call the office and please let them know and send me an email so I'm in the loop!
* Be prepared. Come to school with your math notebook, blue folder (I will provide that), pencils, and your homework.
* Be positive! Our classroom is a home away from home. We want to keep it a safe and happy place. Please do your best to be positive and kind to everybody.
* Be a participant. Being an active participant in class will not only help you succeed, but it shows you are a contributing member of our community. Whether you're doing a project with a group or working on something on your own, give a strong effort. It will pay off academically and socially!
* Speak up for yourself! If you don't understand something or have a question please ask! If you're not comfortable asking in class I am available at break, lunch and often before and after school. If you don't speak up it will be hard to know if you're struggling or need assistance. I'm here to help you in any way I can! <3
* School rules apply to the classroom as well as the yard... Be safe, respectful, responsible, and kind. It's the Willowside way!
