We started a new reading log this week. Each section of the reading log needs to be filled out completely every week night. Starting on the week of October 1st this will become part of each student's reading grade. The 15% of their reading grade that was supposed to go toward Goal will now be based on their Reading Log that they will do each night and hand in on Friday.

Parent/Teacher Conferences
Parent/Teacher Conferences are coming up soon. Please come in and sign up for a time. Each conference is about 20 minutes long. I will be available for conferences before school as well as the times afterwards. So the times available will be before school (7:00-7:20 or 7:20-7:40) on 9/17-9/20 and after school (1:20 and every 20 minutes from there) on 9/19. I am only available on one afternoon for conferences due to working the after school program. I hope this won't be a big inconvenience to anyone.
Don't forget that we have early release on conference days, which is 9/18-9/20, at 1.
If I do not hear from you before Friday this week I will have to pick a time for you.

Responsibility
How can we, at such a young age, show responsibility?
1. Being to school on time and ready to learn.
2. Handing in homework on time, no late assignments.
(There really should be no late assignments unless they are absent. All assignments are written down on their homework chart and is signed each and every night by their parent. That signature tells the teacher that homework assignments are done and looked over to make sure they were done correctly. If assignments are not highlighted off, that means it is homework for the night. The students are only highlighting items off in class if the teacher has gone over the assignment and has approved it.)
3. Keeping homework folder neat and organized to help lessen the chance of forgetting or loosing assignments.
4. Practicing for tests. Students are reminded many times when there will be a test on certain subjects.
Responsibility is a major character trait that we build year to year. Please help your child's character shine this year.

New Year
Here we are again!! A new year!!!
I have already broken my one rule of teaching this year....I had always said I wouldn't teach anyone taller than me....well that went out the window when I met three of my students this year :)
I wanted to give an overview of my homework chart because I do have some parents and students not quite understanding. Each week your child will get a new homework chart, they fill it out at the beginning of the day each day, and as they get done with an assignment, as I have overlooked, they can highlight them off.
Parents need to initial each day when they have checked their students homework is done and completed correctly. Also parents need to sign off on a reading log letting me know that each student is reading at least 20 minutes every night.
As of right now we have not got the students into the computer lab to get their AR ranges. As soon as we do that each student needs to take at least two test a week.
Since we do not have free dress Fridays anymore, it is Tiger Time that the students will miss out on if they do not get their homework done or homework chart and reading log signed or AR tests done.
Please keep your child up on their homework so they don't fall farther and farther behind. On a side note if an assignment is turned in late it is 10% off for each day it's late.
If your child needs extra attention or help on their homework we do have an After School Tutoring and Enrichment Program available. For those that are interested please contact the front office at 855-8661.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me.

I'm looking forward to an amazing school year.
