Start of the Second Nine Weeks

Welcome to the start of the Second Nine Weeks! It is hard to believe that the first grading period is over. We have been working hard, and student report cards will reflect that.

Enclosed in student report cards will be your student's SDMT and SDRT scores. Please pay close attention to the grade level they are functioning at. This will play a significant role in the promotion they receive at the end of the year. We will take a second series of these test at the end of the year, and students will need to show AT LEAST one year's growth. This can only happen if you are working with them at home.

Please make sure you are checking homework each night. I have several students who are not completing homework. This is causing them to fall behind when we start our next lesson the next day. Homework is a continuation of classwork, and is usually a springboard for our next lesson.

Make sure your student has a snack each day. We do not eat lunch until 1:15 and many students are hungry by that time. A great snack is pretzels, fruit, chips, sandwich, etc. I do not have a daily snack for your child.

Planners - Please make sure you are signing each night.

Our next field trip will be in December. We will be going to the Cummer Art Museum and having a picnic at Memorial Park.

Have a great week!
