Tuesday, April 13, 2010

Dear Parents,
I'm hoping the blog will be available to you this evening! I told the class about it today, and I know some will look for it on Valencia's Teachers' page.

Tomorrow all library books are due; please make sure your child returns his/her books to school tomorrow because they cannot check out a new book without returning the "old" one. This is particularly important because tomorrow they will choose a state to create an ABC State Report, so therefore, they need to check out a book about "their" state.

A number of students have not returned yesterday's math homework or review packet homework on time. I'm grading their work and recording their grades in my computer grade book. A zero is worse than an "F", and really devastates a child's grade point average.

Students must read for at least a half hour each day at home. Every week the students have the opportunity to take AR tests when they go to the computer lab on Tuesdays and Fridays. Their AR scores are an important part of their reading grade, but right now many students are not doing well in this area. Please make sure your child is reading for at least a half hour each day.

I look forward to seeing your child tomorrow morning. Please remember that school starts at 7:45, not later.

Thanks!
