Important Information to Know
- Thank you to everyone for the sweet cards, gifts, and well wishes for my birthday today. It made the day extra special, and I was so happy to share it all with you! :)
- Next Wednesday, September 16th, is our first Early Release Day of the school year. School will dismiss at 1:00pm. Please make sure to make arrangements for your child for that afternoon!
- Homework: Most everyone is doing a fantastic job with their homework! A few notes for this week: 1. There are 4 items for Wordly Wise. They MUST complete part E, and must pick one other section to complete for Wordly Wise. Any extra parts of Wordly Wise they complete will be graded for extra credit. 2. I forgot to have them download their words for the week on Blackboard. They are there for them to use. Please have them go to Blackboard Learn, go to their ELA class, look in the folder for Week 5, and they can download them to their desktop.
- Grades will be updated in Blackboard hopefully by Monday. If students can correct their work, it will say so in Blackboard, and will give them a date when it must be turned back in.
- Concerning Flash Cards: I am asking for students to make flash cards for all of their words. They will also be given the vocabulary along with definitions. I want them to make sure to make the flash cards now for us to be able to build on to so that they have them all for when it is time to study for EOQs and EOGs.
- With Behavior Cards, please make sure to look over them this weekend to see how your child's week went. I will be checking for signatures on Monday!
