Dear Parents,
Please note that I write something for this blog everyday--at least so far! Today I had the kids pass back dozens of papers that had been corrected and ready to go home, including two papers the children did this morning in class and I was able to correct while they were in science class. Please look through the corrected papers when you have time.
I'm pleased with how much effort many children are already showing in their reading and note taking for their ABC State Report. When we go to the computer lab tomorrow they will have some time to do research there, but they will not be allowed to print the data they find, they will have to take notes on it.
I'm very pleased with the improvement in classroom behavior this week. On Monday they earned a 7 out of 10 possible points. Their score has been increasing daily. On Tuesday it was an 8.5, Wednesday a 9.25, and today a 9.5. I've told the kids that once they earn three 10s in a row, I will give them some kind of reward. I haven't decided what that is yet, and they are not allowed to ask or tell me. :-)
Yesterday I said that I need help, and I thought my e-mail address was printed on my blog page, but I was mistaken. If you have time and are willing to come in and help grade papers some time during the week (the mornings are the best for me, but any time will do), please let me know. My e-mail address is: tddynewfcruzio.com.
Thank you again for all your help and support. There are a lot of great kids in this class, and I'm enjoying getting to know them day by day.
Tomorrow is Friday; I look forward to seeing the children bright and early when the bell rings at 7:45.
Sincerely,
Ruth Landmann
