Parents are expected to be an integral part of their child's education. I believe it is extremely important that the student, the parent, and the teacher work together for the child to reach his/her fullest potential.
I expect for the parents to see that the student does his/her homework, not do it for them. I want the parents to listen to their child read nightly. Parents are expected to review any concepts that their child is having difficulty with in the classroom.
Finally, I hope that each parent will call me when he/she has any concerns and problems. I want us to work together as a team!
 

 

The classroom is only one place where children are expected to learn, but it is often the place where the majority of learning occurs. With this in mind, I expect every child to come to school everyday ready to learn and to help others learn as well. Students need to be prepared for class daily by having all necessary materials and by having homework assignments completed. They need to be ready to actively listen and participate in the discussion and instruction. Students should always possess the attitude that they will give me their best effort on every assigned task. If all students do these things, it will be the GREATEST YEAR EVER for all of us!

 

We will be working diligently everyday to teach the students to read and comprehend to the best of their abilities. For this reason, I ask that you have your child at school everyday, on time and not check him/her out unnecessarily. The lessons that your child will miss cannot be made up. Almost two hours a day is spent working with the teacher in small groups. Learning will take place from the very beginning of school until the last bell rings for the day!

Welcome to Mrs. Emmons' Class

 

 I love teaching. I feel great joy when I see children learn something new. As a parent, you can expect me to do my very best to teach your child everything I can. Through the years, I have received extensive training in the areas of reading, math, and science. Because I believe school should be interesting, I plan to use many innovative strategies to keep the children actively engaged in their own learning.
