I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday weekend and some extra time off of work. We've had a great few weeks of school!
A few pieces of information:
I am going to start entering grades in the gradebook for language arts. If you see your child's grade dip down, don't be alarmed. This is a time of year when students are getting back into the swing of things with work efforts and organization. I do give correct and return opportunities for kiddos who choose to do so. They can correct the assignment and resubmit it, but it is up to them if they do it. I will write a "C+R" at the top of the page just as a suggestion. Correcting it allows for the opportunity to reread and refocus on the assignment. I always have them bring them home first to show parents and then correct it. That way you are aware of mistakes, struggles, etc., and can help remind them to get it corrected at home. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Also, we are going to be going on an overnight Flat Rock Camp field trip, leaving the morning of Thursday, November 2, and returning the afternoon of Friday, November 3. The cost is $59 per student. We will be hosting a parent meeting sometime in the next 3-4 weeks to go over what we will be doing there, costs/payment info, packing lists, and to answer any questions you might have. At this time, we are not planning on needing parent chaperones. We are recruiting enough staff members to make sure we have an adult for every 5-6 kiddos that attend. We will let you know if something changes. Last year we spent a night in southern Indiana, but are trying something different this year. Needham Elementary has attended this camp for years and both Mrs. David and I have taken students there several times, when teaching at Needham years ago. It is an amazing experience! 🙂
Please let us know if you have any questions. Don't forget to check out our Fourth Grade blog at teamfourth.blogspot.com. It will also have important info leading up to our trip and throughout the year.
Have a wonderful weekend, and as always, thanks for sharing your kiddos with us! We love them. ❤️
