8-24-13 Daily Update

Parents,

A great second day of school.  Thank you to all of the parents would sent in the "Get to know my child" papers.  I'll be reviewing those over the weekend.  Today was our first day "switching" with Mrs. Dressel.  In the next week or so we will be doing some assessments to see where your child stands in Reading and Math at the start of the year.  This will be the baseline that we will use to compare their growth throughout the year.  Mrs. Dressel will also be giving students their reading range and setting goals for the students for how many points they are expected to earn this quarter.

If I get time this weekend, I may be sending you some e-mails regarding Class Dojo (our behavior management system) and Home Connect which can be used to monitor AR and to practice math facts.  Home Connect is linked below
