Parent/Teacher Conferences
Next week, you will receive a parent/teacher conference time schedule. Please mark the time slots that are most convenient for you. With limited space and 25 students, please mark your top 3 choices. Later in the week I will send home a note confirming your time. I look forward to meeting with you and talking about your child’s progress.
Reading Homework
• Your child is in a small group for reading class. This means they may be with someone other than their homeroom teacher. If you have any questions/concerns, please let us know by writing a note in the daily communication folder or calling us 270-328-4830. It is important that their reading bag comes to school every day for us to practice and then they will still need practice every night. Learning how to read is a slow process, but it is important that you work with your child nightly to help learn this skill.
Weekly Homework
• Every Friday your child will need to turn in 2 homework sheets for the week. If you want to turn this in early, you can but it has to be turned in by Friday. We have had several students not turn in this work. After 3 missed assignments in a month, the child will receive an after school detention.
Please help us teach your child that school work is important. If you make homework and school a priority, your child will benefit. Homework is not a punishment; it is reinforcement and practice of skills they have learned in class.
Fall on the Farm Field Trip
We had an amazing day at Fall on the Farm. The weather was wonderful and the students had an amazing time. We were proud of their behavior and hope they learned a lot!!
