Character Education

When responding to an adult, you must answer by saying, “Yes Ma’am,” or “No Sir.”

Make eye contact. Congratulate classmates. During discussions, respect other

students’ comments, opinions, and ideas.

If you do well or win, do not brag. If you lose, do not show anger.

Always say thank you when someone gives you something.

Surprise others by performing random acts of kindness.

Do not ask for rewards. Homework will be turned in each

day when it is due by every student with no exceptions or excuses.

Subject transitions will be swift, quiet, and orderly.

Fourth Grade Essential 20

Be as organized as possible. When work is assigned, do not moan

or complain. Obey rules with substitutes the same

as you do with me. Do not save seats in the lunchroom. When in line, keep hands to yourself

and move quietly. Be positive and enjoy life! Accept that you will make mistakes.

Learn from them and move on. No matter what, be HONEST! Carpe Diem! Seize the Day! Be the very best person you can be.

Differentiated Instruction Our school’s philosophy is to meet the varying needs of all students.  I have attended differentiated teacher training, and will continue to attend many training sessions on differentiated instruction. In our class, I determine the readiness of students and vary assignments to move students forward from their own point of readiness.  Students need to master foundational concepts before tackling more complex issues.  Therefore, sometimes different students will be doing tiered, or different assignments.  My students are given pre-tests to determine levels of instruction, as well as being given projects and assignments with student choice in mind, and with a level of depth for success by all my students.
