Progress reports for the first trimester went home last week. I sent home two copies. Please keep the one with the list of assignment and return to me the overall score copy (I highlighted where parents need to sign). If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
Here is our grading scale:
Advance (A) 90-100%
Proficient (P)75-89%
Basic (B) 65-74%
Below Basic (BB) 50-64%
Far Below Basic (FBB) 0-49%
Scholastic book orders need to be in by October 28. Orders can always be placed online using the link to the right of the page and they will arrive quicker. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to email me or stop by the classroom.
With the first month of school done, more parents have been asking about volunteering in the classroom. REACH allows parents to work with students for 3 days, after this they need to be finger printed. More information can be found in the office. The following would be the best times for parents to come in and help (working with students in small groups).
If you would like to help on any day, please let me know at least one day in advance.

Our first family project: Pumpkin book report. The reports will be due October 29 and presentations will occur the following day. Feel free to get as creative as you would like! If you have a hard time obtaining a pumpkin please talk to me. Also, a parent asked if they could use a fake pumpkin, YES! Feel free to use a real or fake pumpkin (do what is easiest for you and your family).
Here are some great ideas I found online.
