Welcome to 5th Grade Math!

 

I am looking forward to an exciting semester.  It is my goal to provide all students with an educationally challenging experience in my classroom.  I have high expectations for all of my students, and I will do all that I can to help them achieve those expectations.   A child’s quality education needs support and hard work from the teacher, parent, and student.  Let’s work together to reach our maximum potential this year!   It is going to be IMPERATIVE that your child memorizes their multiplication facts!! Please help and encourage your child to work on their math facts.

* Staying informed about your child’s grades is very important. Please create an account on Aeries so that you will be able to access your child’s grades. 

*Academic Dishonesty will NOT be tolerated!!! If the student is caught cheating or committing academic dishonesty, they will receive a zero and the parents will be contacted.

 

Math Homework

Math homework will be given on the first day of each week, and it will be due on Friday.  Failure to turn in homework: student will lose a ClassDojo point, parent will be notified. Although homework is only 5% of their grade, failure to turn in homework will affect your child’s grade. Teaching responsibility and practicing skills learned in the class will help prepare students for success in middle school!   Students will only be given one copy of homework each week. 

 

Absent/Tardy Policy

If the student is absent, it is their responsibility to get their assignment from me and the notes from a classmate.  Students will have one day for each excused absence to turn in work they have missed after they return to school for full credit.  For example, if a student misses two days of school, then they will have two days after their return to complete their make-up work for full credit.  If students do not complete make-up work within the time allotted, it will be considered late.  A student who is tardy to class more than four times in a six weeks grading period may be assigned to detention hall or given another appropriate consequence. A student is counted tardy if they are not in their classroom by 7:50 am (Per the CPISD Handbook).

 

Corrections on in-class assignment and quizzes

  • It is the responsibility of the student to request and schedule corrections.

  • The highest grade a student can receive after correcting an assignment/quiz will be a 70.

  • Unit tests, benchmarks, and district assessments cannot be corrected.

 

**Syllabus is subject to change to meet the needs of the classroom.
