I hope that the Holidays and the long break were relaxing and fun.I have to do an EXTRA :THANK YOU! to all of you, for my wonderful Christmas presents you and your child gave me. I have never felt more appreciated or cared about in all my years of teaching. From the homemade cards and ornaments to the jewelry and smelly candles. I was overwhelmed by your love. Words will never begin to express my gratitude for those precious gifts.
Now back to work we go!
We will get into our normal routine with Reading, Math, Writing, Science (STEM), and a touch of Social Studies. Things to look forward to at PTC in February. I will have some raw scores for what level our kiddos are at on the SAGE spectrum, but also be sure to stay updated on your child’s mastery level for different objectives in the Common Core. Each month I will update the students data folders and keep reminding them of their personal goals on the back of their emojis.
