Families~
YAY FOR 2018!!! As we start a new year, we also start a new quarter. Here's an update on some things we just finished up as well as a look ahead:
1. Report Cards - 2nd Quarter report cards are available online TONIGHT @ 4:00. I have showed all the students their report cards individually and addressed any concerns I had as well as their own concerns.
2. STAR (Standardized) Tests - We took our Mid-year STAR tests and the students did really well! I individually conferenced with each student to see if they made their individual goals. Those scores will be sent from the district as soon as they are finalized.
3. Upcoming Field Trip - The field trip to the Little White School Museum is coming up. It is scheduled for MONDAY, March 5th (one of the sheets I sent home had a misprint...SORRY!) The students will need a disposable lunch on that day. Our chaperones are all set, and thanks to all who volunteered...YOU ROCK!
4. Overall Reflection/Moving Forward - The halfway point is a perfect time to reflect so we can move forward in the most successful way possible. By now, most students are taking accountability for their success this year. They can also tell you what has made them feel that way: studying multiplication facts, engaged during the day through participation, working hard in Power 1/2 Hour when they visit different teachers, and enjoying reading self-chosen books more than ever! I still believe another big piece is having those conversations about school at home, so please keep checking the planners and talking to your children about how they feel school is going!
As always, please reach out if you have any concerns moving forward. I truly want this to be a year your child will always remember as magical!!!
