I am excited about this coming school year. I wanted to write a letter to introduce myself to you and your parents. My name is Chelsea Mascheck. I graduated from University of Houston-Victoria. I am beginning my 6^th year, I have a Bachelor of Science in Interdisciplinary Studies and I am certified in EC-6 as well as certified in ESL, GT, and special education . I am looking forward to working with you and your child. This year will be packed full of learning experiences and fun adventures that no one will want to miss out on! I believe that teacher-parent communication is extremely important and encourage you to contact me with any and all questions or concerns. I will be available by email (cmascheck@weimarisd.org), school phone, remind chat, or please feel free to send a note.  In order to promote academic success and a good classroom-learning environment this year all students will be expected to abide by a few main classroom expectations. I would like for you to be familiar with these expectations as well as the school rules and policies. 

Our main classroom character expectations are:                                

·         be respectful

·         be responsible

·         be safe

I have very high expectations for the academic school year, and are devoted to helping your child succeed!  I believe that all students are unique and capable of learning. I believe students should be responsible for their actions at all times and held accountable for their actions. I want you to always be aware of your child’s progress, so any failing grades will be required to be signed, and returned the next day.

I strongly encourage all parents/guardians to get involved this year!  There are a variety of opportunities to help and I hope that you will take advantage of them. I will be sending home several papers the first week of school for you to look at and fill out regarding student information and remind. Once again, I am thrilled to be working with your child this year and cannot wait to see all of the amazing achievements this year brings!

Thanks so much for your support in your child’s education!!

I am looking forward to a great year with all of you!

Mrs. Mascheck

 Accelerated Reader

Each six weeks the students will set a personal AR goal.  The minimum amount of this goal is based on their independent reading level and reading an average of 20-25 minutes each night.  The percent of their goal they have earned will be a test grade, and their comprehension rate will be a daily grade. A new goal is generated at the beginning of each six weeks. You MUST meet your goal!!!

AR Reading Log

Reading logs will be checked every Wednesday.  A parents/guardians signature is required each week to monitor the student’s progress. Not having their AR log signed will result in a detention.

Homework

Homework will be given and due twice a week.  Monday’s homework is due on Wednesday.  Wednesday’s homework is due on Friday.  Not completing homework on time will result in a detention. If for some reason there is no homework the students will be notified.

Wordly Wise 3000

Approximately every week or every two weeks (depending on the type of week we are having and what events are happening that week) the students will be introduced to 15 new vocabulary words.  Vocabulary activities will be assigned for homework.  Vocabulary quizzes will be given on these words. Test dates will be listed in the planner . Vocabulary terms can be found on QUIZLET.  This is a great tool for students to use! Download the app and search for the words (Wordly Wise 3000)(grade level)

Six Weeks Projects

Each six weeks students will be assigned a project.  This will be a test grade.  Their project will reflect what they have learned throughout the six weeks.
