Please check your Parent Square App to see the latest information from me. I have my lesson plans attached to it in the posts and have all the homework, due dates etc in there as well. It is the best way to contact me and see what is going on in our busy class.

Our Math Series is called "enVision Mathematics. Your child will have a consumable textbook in the classroom and an "Additional Practice" workbook to keep at home for homework.

Envision Mathematics also has an online component where I will attach lessons for them to view and assignments on there for practice. Students can access this through their "Clever" login procedures.

Students will also have access to "Reflex Math" to practice basic skills.

History

Science

Our Science Materials are from Pearson Realize

"Interactive Science" This also offers digital videos and lessons. Many of our lessons will include hands on practice/discovery and usage of the academic vocabulary that goes along with the Science curriculum. Students access this through their Clever Account.

Alabama History Materials

We mainly utilize two sources:

Textbook series "Alabama Our Beautiful Home" and the Social Studies Weekly magazine which also has some online components the students access through their Clever account.

These are my plans, but there are times where plans have to be changed. You can contact me through email or the Class Dojo app.

Behavior Plan for Ms. Prater & Mrs. Myrick

School Expectations are included with Classroom Expectations ( R.I.S.E.)

1. Sayand do kind things.

2. Listen to understand, then speak to be understood. Listen with your ears, eyes, brain and heart.

3. Respect yourself, others, our classroom, and our school.

4. Be prepared for class, follow directions quickly

5. Effort: complete your work and always do your best!

We will be using a Tally System to keep track of negative behaviors (including warnings) and a “Responsible Student Behavior” Calendar in their binders for behavior management in our classrooms. We send “Friday Folders” which include behavior and assignments. Parent Square may be used to contact parents of student positive and negative behavior. Parents can also message us through Parent Square. Parent Square will be our main method of communication.

Positive Behavior Rewards:

Individual positives include: helping others, receiving a compliment from another teacher, displaying teamwork/synergizing, persistence in completing a difficult task, etc. Students can earn: Smarties for being a Smarty, Fun Friday minutes back, earn extra points for outstanding behavior, Positive phone calls and Treasure box items. Class positives earn a “Ray of Sunshine” when the class reaches 30 we will have a popsicle treat. Special Team Coupons are for group effort and finally earning a possible confetti party at the end of the year for Class effort in showing kindness.

Consequences for negative behavior:

Each week, the students’ Tallies will restart. The following information shows the order in which consequences for negative behavior will be documented, communicated to parents, and if needed, communicated to the Assistant Principal. All Tallies are also written in their Friday Folder.

0 Tallies for the week earns all 30 minutes of Fun Friday time.

1 Tally	The student loses 5 minutes off of Fun Friday Time. They record it on their Behavior Chart in their binder, so you can sign it. Failure to show this to you/the parent will give them another Tally.
2 Tallies	The student loses 5 more minutes off of Fun Friday Time and a Silent Snack. They record it on their Behavior Chart, in their binder so you can sign it. Failure to show this to you/the parent will give them another Tally.
3 Tallies	Student and teacher conference to discuss the behaviors and making better choices. The student loses 5 more minutes off of Fun Friday Time, Silent Snack and Silent Lunch. They record it on their Behavior Chart, in their binder so you can sign it. Failure to show this to you/the parent will give them another Tally.
4 Tallies	Parent notification and the student loses 5 more minutes off of Fun Friday Time, Silent Snack and Silent Lunch. The student records this on their Behavior Chart, in their binder so you can sign it. Failure to show this to you/the parent will give them another Tally. If a student gets to this point in one week then the behaviors will be documented using the ACBOE Office Referral Form.
	If this pattern of behavior continues we may call for a parent/Teacher/administrator conference. The ACBOE Behavior/Office Referral Forms will restart at the beginning of each semester.

Some infractions are more severe and therefore carry more weight than a less severe offense. Therefore, *Some offenses will result in immediate office referral: fighting, bullying or other instances as deemed necessary.

Personal Bio

I am blessed to have four wonderful children (all over the age of 18), plus a daughter in law, a son in law and 3 precious grand children. I love being outdoors, fishing/hiking, playing pickle ball and taking care of our farm including: chickens, ducks, long leaf pines, a small pond and a horse. I attend First Methodist Church in Prattville.

Thank you for the opportunity to teach your child. We will have an amazing year filled with a variety of experiences/activities to explore and discover all we can about Math, Science and Alabama History. I will often ask for donations of specific supplies/materials so that we can complete a learning activity and have lots of hands on learning experiences.
