Our first month of school has flown by! Our class has really grown in the past few weeks. We feel more comfortable working with each other and sharing our ideas. We are learning to challenge ourselves and to not give up when things get tricky. We are still working on following expectations and being responsible for ourselves but we are closer to this goal each day!
New Project - Character Trait Book
A new project was sent home today that we will work on in school and at home. Students will often be introduced to a new character trait in school and we will have discussions about what this trait means. At home, students will be required to complete a book page about that trait. An explanation sheet was sent home today along with the booklet. There was also a parent signature page that I am asking families to send back in. This will help me to make sure that everyone is on the same page. We may not send this project home each day depending on our schedule and ability to introduce a new word in school. I will be checking in with students frequently on how it is going to see if there is any further support that students need. Please feel free to let me know if you have any questions.
Red Homework & Communication Folder
Please keep in mind that students also bring home important notices in their red homework folder. Many of these notices are time sensitive so don't forget to check your child's folder each day....or better yet, set up a routine where your child shows you what is in their folder each day. Middle School will be here before you know it so any way that you can help them to build responsibility will only help them in the years to come!
MAH
Because of the short week, we will not be having a MAH sheet this week. We will return to the tracking sheet for fact family cards next week. In the meantime, please continue to have your child study their fact family cards. We will send home the 4's and 5's tomorrow to begin studying. Please let me know if your child has lost their cards.
Conferences
Conferences are next Wednesday and Thursday. If you have not already signed up for a conference, please do so. I really look forward to meeting with everyone and discussing your child's goals. If you are unable to schedule a conference please let me know so that we can work something out.
