MPS-Swanson

Classroom Procedures:

Every day students are expected to have their reader’s notebooks, writer’s notebooks, independent reading books, writing utensils, and of course any materials necessary for weekly study of reading and writing. We work in workshop setting for both reading and writing with Spanish day (to be determined) as a combination of poetry and word and language study.

Extra Help: Available upon request and/or appointment Monday and Tuesday afternoons or recess time. I am always available on the afternoon before a science test
