Spring Break

Hi! I hope everyone is enjoying their SPRING BREAK!!!! Remember if your child gets "bored" or wants to make sure they are practicing their skills I encourage them to visit the NWEA websites located at the right hand side. They can practice in both Reading and Math. To get their RIT Band score on were they should start reference your copy of the report card, or you can message me below if you need me to send that score again.

Over break, your child should be...
1) Reading every night and record their reading in their log
2) Complete 2 book reports that should be the same book they read every night
3) Study, Practice, and Learn their multiplication facts, 0-9 should be mastered we will work on 10-12 when we get back!

Hi! Today at our staff meeting it was brought to the teachers' attention that we need to make sure our students reach the NWEA goals in the Spring. These are the numbers I shared with you in your child's report card. While I am happy to report that all but 3 students (86%) made growth towards their Spring goal!!! I do have to share that only 15% met their goal already. Personally, this number doesn't hold much value to me, because I believe in my students and my teaching that students will reach their goal in the Spring assessment (May). However, to ensure we do our best and give it our best try, the school would like for all students to begin school earlier. Starting the week of April 9th students are to report to school at 7:30 on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. Please make sure your child attends NWEA Boot Camp and please return the permission slips back to class as soon as possible. Thank you for helping me help your child!
