I hope that this post finds everyone happy and healthy after our long winter break. I know that I speak from all in our teaching team when I say that we enjoyed all of our time with family and friends.
The 3rd nine weeks starts tomorrow! This will be the most productive nine weeks yet! We will be reading and writing extensively in all subject areas, which means increasing rigor and productivity across the board. Get your sleep and "Eat Your Wheaties", my compadres! We have a lot of work to do!
Please check homework folders daily as well as our class website. The calendar will be updated regularly with homework assignments and test dates. Remember that homework assignments count for two test grades in Reading, Spelling, and Math. Since there are approximately 9 grades per subject per nine weeks, This is 25% of the final grade!
Reading homework and spelling homework will be streamlined a bit this nine weeks. I am trying to find the best combination of activities for homework that produces the most skill practice for a condensed amount of time daily. Please see our website for:
**Reading Homework and **Spelling Homework. These are due weekly on Wednesday and Fridays.
We are also starting over with Dojo points. Congrats to those students that made it to "Living Legend" in the 2nd nine weeks! These students, from both Mrs. Pechon and Mrs. Blanchard's homerooms, are:
Ana, Harrison, Bailey D., Sal, Briana, Ty, Luke, Alexis (in both classes!), Emma, Aleena, Katie, Sydney (in both classes!), Madison, Jay, Grace, Annie, Layla, Maggie, and Hannah M.
These students will have their picture on the living legend wall soon!
Thanks for all of your support! Again, please make sure and check the weekly overview for important information, as well as homework folders daily. Test folders will continue to be sent home on Thursdays. Please review these, make MATH test corrections, and return the folder by the following Tuesday to receive credit for math corrections.
