    Grades: Your student will earn a letter grade for Language Arts, Social Science, Science and Math. Achievement will be measured on progress of IEP goals. They will earn a letter grade for PE, which will be based on attendance and participation. All 7th graders will take their Physical Fitness Tests this school year; this includes running the mile and completing different exercises, which will be administered by their PE teacher.

    Curriculum: Curriculum used in the class is Unique Learning System (ULS) and News-2-You (N2Y). More information on ULS and N2Y can be found at www.n2y.com. Each month there will be a new unit theme which includes chapter books, new vocabulary, math lessons, cooking lessons, and life skills lessons. 

    Class Schedules: Your student will remain in classroom 111 for the day (Period 0 (CP)-Period 6), and transition to General Education PE (2nd Period), assisted by Paraprofessionals/SCIA's. 

    Homework: Students receive daily homework, except on Friday’s. Students will be assigned Spelling each night in preparation for a Spelling Test on Thursday/Friday. Students will be given a Spelling Test on Thursday, and if they receive 80%, they will not be given a test on Friday, plus no homework for that evening. If they do not receive 80%, they will be given a test on Friday. NOT ALL STUDENTS WILL BE TAKING A SPELLING TEST; this is based on the student’s individual needs. Students will also be receiving at least 2-3 additional pages of homework along with their daily Spelling. Homework is based on what is completed in class and students are familiar with what is expected of them. My expectation is that they will take their folders home each night, do their best on the homework and attempt to complete it, and bring back their folders the next day.  

    Progress Report Dates: Progress your child’s IEP goals will be sent home in December and May.

    Community Based Instruction (CBI): TBD as the school year progresses. 

    Other Activities: We will be conducting cooking lessons as well as completing Art projects or Science Experiments. At the beginning of each month, I will send home a new calendar, with cooking dates labeled with the recipe we will be making. If you would like to make a donation to go towards supplies for cooking, it would be very much appreciated. I will also label on the Calendar any additional Special Activities we will be doing in class (feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions)  

    Fun Friday: Each Friday, after our Spelling Tests, some Independent Work, and PE, we will have our Fun Friday. Our students work hard every day, so they have earned a day to decompress before the weekend. Students get to enjoy a day filled with non-tech fun (i.e. Legos, puzzles, use inflated hopper balls, relax on beanbags in a calm corner with sensory items, creating characters with peers using blocks, and time to just play with peers), enjoy tech time (i.e. Chromebooks), watch movies and enjoy snacks (i.e. popcorn, nachos, chips, cookies, juice (i.e. Capri Sun)).     

    Supplies: Students are provided with supplies at school (pencil box, pencils, crayons, markers, colored pencils, pens, erasers, white board markers, white board erasers, scissors, glue sticks). If you would like to donate any supplies, I will send a list of materials we use in the classroom.

    Communication: I will be sending home a Daily Communication Notebook; please check for any daily correspondence or papers you need. Please be sure to place it back into their backpacks for school the next day. I have also provided my email and Google Voice number.
