Report cards came home today. Please take some time and discuss it with your child. I’d recommend that you start with the Personal Development areas. These skills are just as essential, some would even argue that they are even more essential than the academic areas, to being successful in life. Ask your child what they are most proud of and why then what they think they need to do to improve in. Whether it’s “take my time on my work” or “ask questions when I am stuck,” I find students often know what they need to do. They just need encouragement to do it.
If after reviewing your child’s report, you and your child are concerned about a subject, please contact me or his or her subject area teacher. I’ve posted each of our emails below.

We’ll have our first ROAR reward day on Tuesday, November 20th. Students have been saving their ROAR tickets so that they can purchase different ways to spend their afternoon. Some of the options are additional recess or a snack, snuggle, and read. Each opportunity has a different value so the more tickets they’ve earned the better their choices. Students who have not saved their tickets may spend their time reading or working on school work in study hall.
You can find all the newsletters for the year and other fun pictures including a video of Lily’s “Who Knew” at our classroom blog http://khalesclass.blogspot.com/.
