Mrs. Martin, ICC Teacher 

2011-2012

"Doing your best at this moment

puts you in the best place for the next moment."

Take some time every day to go outside and play!

Homework Reminders:  Daily Spelling Assignments are listed in your homework notebook.  Please remember to study your spelling words and number bonds every single night and bring your word card baggie back and forth to school with your planner every day!  Written assignments are due on Friday.

This year, so far, we have 9 students in grades 3-5.  Once a student joins our class, they join our family.  Welcome!

A student's job is to learn.

In our class, students are "paid" for doing their job with classroom money. Payday comes on the last Friday of each month.   We have a class store & students will learn about the value of sets of coins as well as saving and spending money.  You can help by sending in new and used items for the class store (just send a note with them) and by talking with your child about doing his or her best. 

CLASS RULES

1. Be kind.
2. Work quietly.
3. Stay in your seat.
4. Raise your hand.
5. Complete all work.
