Mrs. Graham outlines her classroom expectations and curriculum for the upcoming school year. She emphasizes the importance of self-control, respect, and following rules. Students will focus on these character traits in the first weeks. Her classroom uses Reader's and Writer's Workshop to teach the district's literacy program, and a workshop approach to teach math. Students will learn about Utah geography, government, plants, animals and more in social studies and science. Homework is assigned weekly and due on Fridays, and can result in rewards or extra study time depending if completed. She also encourages daily home reading and provides a classroom blog for parents.
