Progress Report Time!

Mid-Quarter grades are coming home today! Please sign and return your child's progress report by Friday. Next week I will send home a sign-up for conferences.

You will also be receiving the log in and password for checking your child's grades online. I have already added grades that will raise or lower the grade your child received on the progress report. If your child has late work or work from an absence, I generally do not record it until the end of the week. Check back on Friday for a more accurate grade. Here is the link to the grade book site: http://www.mygradebook.com/

I look forward to working with you to help your child reach his or her full potential this year.



Thank you,

Math Quiz 2.7

Today students took a quiz on estimation. For each problem, they were to show how they rounded the numbers as well as their estimated answer. Students should also be able to tell whether their estimate is in the 0.1s, 1s, 10s, 100s, 1,000s, 10,000s, etc. Here are the questions if you would like to review them before the test!

Social Studies Extra Credit Opportunities

Opportunity #1: Students may submit up to five items for our class' Regions Scrapbook. Students should bring in a picture (one that we can keep) or draw a picture of a place they have been. The picture should include a caption that describes the region/location and characteristics of that place. They should tell how the land or climate of that region effects life there. We will compile each scrapbook item into a class book to help us learn more about our country's regions.



Opportunity #2: Students may read about two letters in the book D is for Democracy and write a summary of the content. This one must be done at school because I have checked the book out from the library.

Please encourage your student to take advantage of this opportunity to raise his or her S/S grade! The last day to turn in this Chapter 2 Extra Credit is this Thursday, October 1st.

Math Packets

Inside of the Friday/Monday folder, students will be bringing home their Chapter One Math Packets. The Math Packet contains all of the homework for chapter one. Students are assigned one page per night. The following day, we check the work in class. This gives students the opportunity to review concepts and clear up any questions they had while completing the homework.

At the end of each chapter I will be grading the Math Packet. I will not check each and every problem, but I will spot check to ensure students are correcting their papers as needed as well as completing their work. For each page that is not completed and corrected with excellence, the student's grade on the packet will drop one letter grade.

If your student received a C + or below, please discuss with them the importance of correcting their papers in class and completing their homework at home the night before. You might want to check your student's packet to see that they are making the necessary corrections in class if they got below a C+ this time.
