All week we will be testing in the morning until 11:00 AM or so. Please remember not to make appointments for the mornings this week. If you need to bring your child a lunch or something they have forgotten at home, please take it to the office, not the classroom. Thank you for your understanding of this matter.
I really want to thank all the parents who have brought or will be bringing in a snack this week!
Because it is testing week, our schedule will be different each day. The work we do will be done in school. No homework will be assigned. Please check your child's planner to see what your child has done and sign it once for the day please, Thanks again!
Progress reports have gone out, and I want you to remember that it is just that---A progress report. I have had a few questions or concerns about conduct and/or effort as well as handwriting. For conduct, we have a rubric that we are to follow. I sent that home at the beginning of the year. Effort grades are based on their overall effort on daily work as well as completing homework every night . Also learning how to be responsible to get their planners signed or returning the work the next day-complete- is important too. Always remember you can come see me about any concerns or questions you might have. Or if you need more than a min. please call the office to set up an appointment. As for handwriting, we also have a rubric that we follow. We will be practicing more and more with cursive and they will improve!
Some of the things we will be doing this week :
- science lab actvities
- writing- we will be working on each part of the writing process as we write narratives this week
- handwriting practice
- reading from social studies and science lessons & working on notes etc.
