Differentiated Instruction
There are all levels of ability in this class. Our school’s
philosophy is to meet the varying needs of all students. I have
attended and taught 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.

If for some reason a child is having difficulty following our class
procedures/rules, I will send you a note, email, or I will call you. I
believe it is so important for us all to communicate throughout
the year so we are all on the "same page" and "same team". I
only want what is best for you and your child.
Our class marble jar is a fun way to reinforce good class behavior,
Marbles will are placed in the jar when good behavior is

Healthy Snacks and Birthdays
*We have individual snacks each morning. Please send a healthy,
low sugar snack that can recharge his/her brain and body. Make
sure the snacks do not have nuts or any nut products.
The school is really trying to promote healthy eating
choices. However, I know birthdays are special days to celebrate
at school. So, it is up to you on how you would like to
celebrate. We celebrate birthdays during our snack time 10:15, or
at the end of the day 3:00. The three important things to
remember about food are:
1. Must be store bought
2. must contain NO NUT products
3. the ingredient label must be provided.
Please know that you are not required to provide anything for
your child’s birthday.

Back-to-School Night Information from the Office
• Seconds in the café. If students go back for seconds it costs as much
as a full tray. This is most costly to our families on PIZZA DAY (every
MONDAY). We have some kiddos that want to eat 3 and four slices.
• We are keeping our Southeast Website current with district and site
information. Be sure to check it on a regular basis.
• We will never have enough parking to accommodate everyone. We
will make every effort to split events up by grade level in order to
ease some of the parking issues! Please be respectful of our
neighboring businesses, PLEASE DO NOT USE THEIR PARKING. Please
do not park on a red curb, those are FIRE LANES.
• We are about to get our “Pick-Up” procedures in place for the
