Welcome to room 17. I am pleased that your child is a student in my class this year.
My name is Debbie Almo and I am so excited to be teaching second graders this year. I attended LAUSD schools from kindergarten through grade twelve. I attended LAUSD schools and then went to UCLA where I graduated with my with a Bachelors in Anthropology. Shortly after that, I received my multiple subject teaching credential from Cal State Northridge and began my first teaching position in Reseda which I enjoyed. A few years later I came to Brockton where I have been teaching ever since. I love our neighborhood, our school, and our terrific students. I think second graders are wonderful.
Homework: The purpose of homework is to help students become responsible citizens. Students should read 15 minutes
(or more) daily for homework. Students will be provided with a composition book in which to complete their homework each night. This composition book will have a calendar of each night's homework explaining what is expected.
What are Common Core State Standards? The Common Core State Standards (CCSS) are national standards that most states in the United States have adopted to ensure that all students are held to the same standards of learning. The CCSS aims to solve the problem of curriculum that has become, "a mile wide, and an inch deep." The standards are focused and clear and they specify what students should be able to do by grade level.
