What days are special classes?
We are on a six day rotation for Fine Arts and PE classes.
Day 1 is Art, Day 2 is PE, Day 3 is Music, Day 4 is PE, Day 5 is Think Tank (computer lab), and Day 6 is PE.
Holidays with no school are not counted, so the next school day will be the next day in the rotation.
--------------------------------------
How is my child doing in class?
I'll be happy to have a conference with you to let you know! Just call the
front office at 281-482-1201 to set up a date, or email me at
dpeacock@fisdk12.net. My conference time will be 11:15-12:00, Monday through Thursday.
--------------------------------------
When is lunchtime?
Our class goes to lunch at 12:06-12:36.
On pretty days, you may take just your child outside with you to the picnic
tables. Fun!
--------------------------------------
What do I do if my child is absent?
Please remember to send a note to school telling why they were absent. The office must have these on
record. You may request make-up work after two days of absences. I will list the daily assignments
and students have one day per day absent to complete the work.
--------------------------------------
How much time should homework be taking?
For this age child, homework should be 30 minutes or less. Of course,
some days may take a little longer if studying for a test. If it is taking your
child much longer than this, there may be a problem with not getting work done in class.
Sometimes children assume they don't have homework if they don't
have any "worksheets." But each night, homework should include
reading about 10 minutes, practicing math facts about 5-10 minutes,
and practicing spelling words about 10 minutes.
--------------------------------------
When is Library?
Our class library time is Friday, 10:30-11:00.
Let's return those books on time!
--------------------------------------
What else do I need to know?
Following guidelines of the Capturing Kids' Hearts program, our class now has a Social Contract, which
is a child-composed set of behaviors of how we agree to treat each other in our class and school.
Come to Parent Night on September 4th, and I'll explain more!
