Team Mindcrafters Daily Update 8-26-15

Parents, 

Reading Logs.  I'd really like to get students off to a good start with reading.  Once students fall behind, it is very difficult for them to catch up.  This Friday, students are expected to be at 11% of their individually set AR goals.  You can help by making sure that your child is reading the same book at school and at home until it is finished, and an AR quiz is taken.  Students should be completing their reading logs, at the bottom of the homework sheet, and bringing them to you to initial each night.  
Thanks to those who have been doing this.

TAP - The Tutoring Assistance Program (TAP) is a free one-on-one tutoring program offered by the Zion Lutheran Church just down the road from the school.  Volunteers from the church have work with children from 3:30-4:45 on Wednesdays.  The time begins with a 15 minute snack and beverage and then 1 hour of adult-led tutoring.  Students can work with their tutor to complete homework, read together, study for tests, or work on skills that need practice.  Please see the attached document for more information, and contact your child's homeroom teacher if you are interested in signing your child up for this program.

Scissors.  Our order of scissors is on back order.  If your child has an extra pair of scissors at home, it would be helpful to send them in until our order comes in.  Thank you!
