Birthdays
Birthday snacks are welcome in class. Please let me know at least a day before so I can make plans. We will plan on celebrating at 2:45. Send in only store bought, single serving, ready to serve treats since we will have only 10 minutes to enjoy the snack.
Contact Mrs. Miller
The best way to reach me during the day is by email, [email protected]. You may also call the office 913-416-1480 to leave a message or to be connected with my voice mail. My first priority during the day is teaching your children, but I will return calls and email as soon as I can, usually at the end of the day or during my planning time.
Remind101: I will be sending home a sheet that you can sign up for text or email reminders via Remind 101. This is a great app for communication for quick updates and reminders.
Classroom Webpage: All my newsletters and updates will be posted on my classroom webpage www.tesmillersminutes.weebly.com.

Student Planners
Each student has a planner, and homework folder to record daily work, upcoming tests, and homework assignments. We will fill these out together daily. The planners should be taken home and brought back each day (teaching responsibility). I feel that this is a vital link in communication between home and school. It teaches students to organize and be accountable for their schoolwork. Please ask your child to share their planner with you each day. All assignments are written in these planners with homework noted. I ask that parents initial each day that they have seen the planner. You are also encouraged to write a note to me as I check these daily. Your child is responsible for removing and placing homework back into their folders nightly.
Classroom rules & Management system
Our classroom rules are simple and cover most behaviors that a teacher might see in the classroom. I will break these down into a more visual manner for the kids to understand (examples in the parenthesis).
My focus in the classroom is to create a positive learning environment, however there are times when a child will need consequences for repetitive actions. These consequences will be at the teacher's discretion. They might include think time, walking laps for a few minutes at recess, or a quick conversation with me in the hallway. For serious offenses or repeated offenses parents will be contacted.
- Braves are responsible (complete classwork, prepared for class, honest, trustworthy)
- Braves are respectful (kind, caring, encouraging, thoughtful)
- Braves are safe (walk in the halls, using equipment appropriately)
