Gold Star Student

I feel very strongly that this time our star student is our entire class. We have been discussing the time during slavery and the civil rights of the 50's and 60's. We are busy watching films such as Our Friend Martin and Selma Lord Selma. I was so pleased to see the passion in all the kids. They had a lot to say after the film. They were all very moved by Martin Luther King Jr. and the children that lived through the cilivil rights era. I am very proud to say that we have had some wonderful discussions and that they all deserve the Gold Star Student award.

WANTED Candy!

WANTED Candy!!

Everyday that your child behaves is a great day......spoken from a teachers point of view!

I have been rewarding the students that behave each and everyday by letting them pick a piece of candy from the bucket when they leave at the end of the day.

SInce we have a lot of terrific kids in our class, they are breaking the bank in candy costs. I am asking all the parents reading this if you could bring in a bag of candy now and again throughout the year.

I thank you very much.

Change!

New Homework Policy

We have been coming to school for nine weeks now and I do feel each student in this classroom can step up to the responsibility of getting their work in on time. Starting with the second quarter I will be changing the homework policy slightly.

· Each student will only be able to turn in a late assignment if that assignment is two weeks or less old. If it is more than two weeks after the assignment was given than it stays blank on the progress report and will not be accepted. except in the case of absence. Parents are still required to request that missing assignment and pick it up here at school.

Getting late assignments that were due over a month ago became a real nightmare and took a great deal of planning time away.

Reading Log

Reading Log

Reading logs are due every Friday. We have been using our assignment notebooks to write in our minutes. Parents....please initial each block of time read. Every student should be reading 100 minutes per week. This is part of the reading grade and will be figured into the grade that goes on the report card.
