Ms. Bedsole's Homeroom Update
5th Grade, Room 312
3rd Nine Weeks
We have a lot of fun, exciting things going on the second half of the year. Be on the look out for some of those events!
Progressbook
For me, no grades are posted yet (since this is only the first week of the new nine weeks), but definitely check back next week! :)
If, for some reason, you cannot access Progressbook, please send me an email or a Dojo message, and I will get you your login information. All students have this information written in their planners.
Class work and Homework Policy
We talked in depth about the "new" policies, compared to what we did the first and second nine weeks. The students agreed that the policies were fair, and they are still given PLENTY of chances to make things up and turn things in.
I will attach the policy in the email, just in case it gets lost in the shuffle somewhere.
As always, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me!
Rube Goldberg Competition
Not every student took an application. It's okay if they didn't, this is something I want them to do on their own without any pressure. Some students didn't take one because they said they are on a sports team and do a lot of other things after school...and I appreciate them being responsible and not putting too much on their plates.
And for some students, it just simply isn't their "thing" (as some of them said).
Either way, I will attach that application as well. The deadline to turn in that would be Monday, January 26th. If your child is interested, please read over both pages very carefully. This isn't a club I am starting here at school, this is something that the students will be working on at home with their groups, and may come up some mornings to work on.
Again, any questions? Please ask me!
