Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 1-4-16

Parents,

Reading.  This quarter students started out with an advantage in their AR goals by taking a quiz on The Lemonade War (which was actually read in the first quarter).  Although many students used this advantage to help them go far beyond their quarterly goal, some used this to slow down in their nightly reading.  Regardless of where students are in their goal, 20 minutes of nightly reading is still an expectation.  I will be checking reading logs for some students on a daily basis for a while to help them get back into the routine of nightly reading.  Today I met with each student individually to discuss their progress, and students who will be having logs checked have been made aware.  Thanks for your help in making sure that your child is reading nightly, and bringing you the log to sign.  Remember that THEY are to fill out the log, and just get your initials.
