Parents,
What a fun day of learning we had today! We began the day by reading some fun Halloween jokes and poems. Then we practiced our parts for the play "Legend of Sleepy Hollow."
Many students earned prizes and pizza for their excellent first quarter reading. To keep on pace, students need to be at 10% of their goal by tomorrow to participate in Battleball.
Grade cards went go home with your child today. Please review these with your child and return the envelope signed tomorrow. Both 1's and 2's should be considered "good". A "2" means that your child is near mastery of a skill. 3's and 4's represent areas that your child may need more practice. Always try to be constructive when talking with your child about his/her grades. Focus both on the areas your child was successful and areas that they think they can improve.
Reminders:
- Please return grade card envelopes by Thursday, November 1.
- Conferences are Thursday, November 1 and Monday, November 5. See my previous e-mail for times.
