Besst Realty will be kicking off our canned food drive this week too. This is a great opportunity to serve our community. Please send any can donations throughout the week. The kids attended an assembly today and learned some incentives for collecting cans.
Homework is back to normal. We are working in Unit #2, Week #3 of Wonders. Please print out a study guide if you haven’t for this unit. We have two Readworks assignments and frontrow practice. Continue to practice multiplication cards as well. We will be learning more about the water cycle and working on spelling words in the classroom. Please bring in any 2-liter soda bottles you have. I need the lids too.
We are also beginning our 2nd Quarter of school. Grades will be available for the first quarter on Friday. Please remember that we have a “NEW” grading policy. You can review this on the school’s website. When reading your student’s score, please note that it is respective to a benchmark score. You should not expect your student to reach “Mastery” of a subject in the first quarter. Some children will receive a “4” grade in a subject but most will be a “3”. Note that their scores will continues to climb. Be patient as you see their scores increase over the year. We have parent/teacher conference coming up in November. I can answer any of your concerns during this time. You can also contact me in advance if you would like.
I have had a few parents willing to help with the Halloween party. I really need someone who is willing to plan the activities. Let me know if you would be willing to plan an activity for the party.
