I apologize for being so long between posts. There are several things I would like to remind you of.
- Please check grades grades on Infinite Campus regularly. Some students have several missing assignments. I reviewed missing assignments with all students today so that students are aware of what is missing. I hope to see all of them caught up before the end of next week.
- Vocabulary quiz this Friday in EL Support Class. Lists 11 and 12 for students. (Beginner lists - shapes and Christmas words). All students can use Quizlet (program on the computer) to help them review.
- NoRedInk is a program we are using to work on our grammar skills. Students (except beginners) should have 7 assignments done by the end of the grading period on February 23. Students choose their topic and take a pre-test. If they score 80% or above, I record the grade and they are done with that topic. If they score less than 80% then they must do a practice module, followed by a post-test. This does take some time so all students should be spending some time each week on this activity. They have some class time, although few are using it so work outside of class might be a good idea. (This program is not working well with the beginners so I am doing other class work with them.)
- Weather - Some of our new students are not used to the cold temperatures. Please make sure your child dresses warmly for the school day. Students are not supposed to wear coats in the building so it is a good idea to have a sweater or sweatshirt to wear. Also, if there is snow or ice, please make sure you check the TV for school delays or closings. I do not want anyone waiting for a bus that is not coming!
I am enjoying working with your children. Thank you for sharing them with me! Have a wonderful day!
