Welcome to Ms. Amanda's class website. Here you will be able to find classroom themes, homework assignments, tips, and resources.

General Information, Classroom Syllabus, & Expectations

You can always reach me via email (ms.amanda.desilva@gmail.com) or at the school (818) 952-8099.  Email would be the best way because I check it multiple times a day.

Since I have just started a Masters Program at CSUN in Educational Psychology, I have to leave earlier two days a week for my classes. :)  I am more than happy to work with you after school on various assignments, homework, etc through the homework room.  Please arrange to do so on days that I will be here later.

Monday- 8:00-5:30
Tuesday- 8:00-5:30
Wednesday- 7:30-3:00
Thursday- 7:30-3:00
Friday- 8:00-4:30

I use and strongly endorse Dr. Marvin Marshall's method for classroom management and discipline.  It encourages students to be responsible for their own actions and to evaluate how their choices affect others.  It is my belief that with this reflective process students will begin to monitor their own behavior in and out of the classroom.



I have found this system to be incredibly effective in my classroom and has really built a community of respect and independence.

Visit Dr. Marshall's website for more information (http://www.marvinmarshall.com/).  He also has a parenting book!
