Classroom
Macro Plan
I teach math and language for 1st and 2nd Grade.
I also teach Social Studies for Second Grade.
My goal is to give the students the knowledge and skills they will use in
everyday life. That is why most of
our lessons are hands on. By doing
this I hope to encourage them to develop a love for learning at an early age. It
will provide them with the basic building blocks so that they can have the
higher order thinking skills to be successful in their academic career.
Grading
policy and Late work
I assign homework as a tool to reinforce what the students learned in
class that day. It is also assigned
to give them a sense of responsibility. By
giving homework parents are also able to see what their child is currently
learning in the classroom which is a great way to talk to them about what is
going on in school. Homework should
be turned in on a daily basis. If
homework is not turned in I will provide the opportunity for the student to
finish it at recess. I adhere to the
grading policy of Gause I.S.D.
Reteach
Polices
Gause I.S.D. has adopted Saxon math as the primary math curriculum.
Saxon is 100% Texas Essential Skills and Knowledge (TEKS) aligned.
Saxon math is designed to spiral so that that it continually reteaches
objectives already taught. This
provides ample opportunity for reteach. I
also reteach small groups and individuals on an as needed basis.
Tutorials are also provided from 3-4 pm, two days a week, for those
students who still need extra reinforcement.
