Tuesday folders
Parents,
As we enter just a few weeks into the 2nd 9 weeks, please help me and your child by checking their folders on Tuesday. Another way to say informed about grades is to be on the Parent Connect system. With access, you are able to see your child's grade from the grade book. If you need help getting access, stop by our office or give them a call. They can help get you pointed in the right direction.
Earth Science has been historically tougher for kids so we just need to be proactive and study when possible.The kids have a text book, flash cards, a journal, study island access and much more.
Thanks for listening,
~Sherry

Homework WEDNESDAY NIGHT
Parents,
Just a heads up. Homework in science is coming tomorrow night. It was an assignment that they did with the sub. but grades weren't great. However, some will have a FREE pass! plus a prize from the witch's kettle. My thought is that many didn't take the assignment seriously. Instead of posting grades, I am allowing the kids to do the assignment over again. Those that don't have to do it, passed the first time. If you would like to verify with me if your child has to redo it or not, email me at sherryb345@aol.com and I'll let you know.
The assignment is from the book. They probably need to re-read pages C42-C47. Then, they need to do pg. C 47, 1-5 writing the answers only. They are worth 20 points a piece therefor they need to be careful in how they answer them.
I am a little disappointed. I expected the grades to be better.However, help me remind them that Earth science is more difficult and they need to prepared.
Thanks for your support and help.

AR- 1st 9 weeks goals!!!!
Well, thank yous are in order for Izzy, Britney, Jimmy, and Kierra. They were able to meet their AR goals for the 1st 9 weeks. AR is a great program because it is leveled to their needs and yet challenging plus rewards kids for great work! Reading is great practice for vocabulary and fluency and it helps all subjects, even math and science. Let's double the amount of kids for the next 9 weeks! I believe we can do it!
