Reading Logs

Posted on by

Reading logs are assigned nightly. Students are to write a summary of what they read during the 20 assigned minutes. These are due every 2 weeks and part of their ELA grade. Parent signatures should be on every log so that I know you held your child accountable for their reading and writing time.  Our first one was due and I am saddened at how many students did NOT turn one in. 🙁

Huge thanks to…Eduardo, Ashley, Dayanara, Sarah, Jacqueline, Kevin, AB, Ashneet, and Anaih. Way to go guys – you are keeping that ELA grade up!

Math Re-Do’s

Posted on by

Students are receiving their Ch 2 Multiple Choice Math Test today. Parents, please review this and sign it before returning it. If a student received an A or a B, re-do’s are optional. Any student receiving a C, D, or F, is expected to re-do the problems they missed and explain why they missed it. They should not just say they marked the wrong answer. It should say something like they forgot to regroup, they subtracted wrong in the tens place, etc.. Please help your child with this at home as they most likely need the extra support. This is an opportunity for students to LEARN from their mistakes and also to earn back partial credit to help boost their grade. All tests are due on or before Friday, September 21st.

Signed items this week

Posted on by

Last week Ch 5 Multiple Choice and Free Response Tests were sent home.  Students had the opportunity to do re-do’s for additional credit. If your child received a D or F, I HIGHLY recommend they take advantage of that opportunity.  Not only will it boost their grade, but hopefully they can LEARN from their mistakes. I also sent home a cumulative Ch 1-4 Test. They may also complete re-do’s for this test by Friday. If they have forgotten the material, they should be referring back to their math notes in their math notebook.

Progress Reports were also sent home last week. Thank you for the many inquiries. I am happy to see that we are working together to make your child accountable and successful.

Today your child will also be bringing home a Science Test that they took when learning from Mrs. DeGuzman. This was after a month long rotation. They had the opportunity to use both notes, and the book for this test. For that reason, Mrs. DeGuzman is not allowing re-do’s. Please sign and return by Friday.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding your individual child, please e-mail or call me so we can discuss it. Thanks!
