Letter coming home today! :)

February 17^th Week:

Welcome to a {hopefully} 5 day week!  Things keep getting lost in translation over the snow days, etc., so here are a few reminder notices:

1.      Please read the blog for updated information.  I typically try to write 3-4 times a week.  Monday afternoons and Tuesday afternoons I have committee meetings and staff meetings, but I still try to get the homework or gist of the day written.

2.      Weekly Packets – students are still receiving weekly packets. Most of the time this is individually based to help your child. PLEASE be checking these packets as you see your child working on it. 

3.      Class President – Our class has elected Jared as the class president. He will be running Class Meetings.  He is currently passing an Olympic Torch (paper of course!:) ) around to the ‘student of the day’.  Ask your child if you’ve received this honor yet!

4.      Planners & Behavior – students should be showing you their planner daily.  It should have the learning outcome written in the subject box OR the homework for the night.  Students should also be writing down their daily behavior in the yellow box.  This is where they land on the Clip Chart each day. 

5.      At Home Programs – some students are earning extra credit at home! Is your child? Programs include: Lexia, Success Maker, Kahn Academy, Splash Math, online Reading & Math sites (given at conference time).  If you need to know what your child can be working on, please let me know!  Just write it in the planner and your child receives extra credit in that subject!

6.      Showcase Night – Feb. 27^th 5-6:30   We will be showing you an awesome Prezi presentation on our Math Workshop as well as taking you through a couple of the rotations.  The kids have worked HARD on this! If you are not going to be able to make it, please let me know and I will be able to email you your child’s Prezi presentation after we finish them.

 

Thanks!! J
