Weekly Update 1.23
Hello Everyone! We are now in the 4th week of this six weeks. Time is just flying by and the kids are growing so much. I am so proud of all of the growth I have seen this year.
Harmony Around the World: Harmony Around the World is a multi-cultural night that we hold each spring. Each class choose a country, prepares a tri-fold board about the country, a food dish, and a basket for a silent auction. It is really a fun night. It will be held on April 13th.
Our class has selected Samoa. We have been working with Mr. Asalele on a presentation for the program. The kids are really doing great with remembering the routine!
This year the school is putting together a Harmony Around the World Cookbook as a fundraiser. Each homeroom is submitting a recipe for their country. If you have any recipes that we could use please email them to me. If you have any pictures, artifacts, or other items that we could borrow for that night please let me know.
Reminders: Re-enrollment forms went home on Friday. They are due by February 10th.

Getting ready for second grade:
In order to get everyone ready for second grade you will begin seeing number grades on assignment. I will begin entering them into the database and the students will receive an average for each class/subject. We will continue the evaluations and add number grades. If you log in to the database you will have to scroll down by subject to see the assignments. If your child makes an unsatisfactory score on an assignment they can correct it and return it with a parent signature and I will change the grade. Students will receive a 0 for missing work. I feel that this is an important step in helping the students take ownership and understand the responsibility needed to be successful in second grade.
Thank you so much for all of your support!
