Note number two: Don't forget daylight savings is this weekend - we fall back. Enjoy your extra hour!
Note number three: It is hard to believe that today is the last day of the quarter! On November 12th we will have a regular school day, with an honor roll assembly at 1:30. Report card pick-up will take place from 3:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. This is a bit different from previous years as we do not have a planned time for sit-down conferences, simply a pick-up. As always, if you have any questions/comments/concerns please don't hesitate to get in contact with me, as many of you already have.
Note four: Math exams from the 24th are being sent home today, along with the follow-up quiz we had today on addition/subtraction of decimals (we saw a lot of improvement across the board!). In addition, two Diary quizzes are being sent home. It is quite clear that some students are not doing their readings each night which has had a negative affect on not only their grades, but their understanding of the strategies on each night's homework and overall reading comprehension. I hope that with the start of a new quarter tomorrow, those students will start off on a good note. All grades for the quarter are currently in ThinkWave (spelling still looks goofy-I might have to average that one out by hand).
