Friday :)

Hey, class!

What a fun week!  It truly has been a pleasure getting to work with you all this first week. Have a relaxing weekend filled with family and fun :).

PARENTS:

Your student took their first "Flocabulary" test.  I have stapled their pretest to their post test and I am happy to report EVERY STUDENT made great improvements.  Please have them show you their tests.

I am starting your kids on the 6th grade vocab work and they will end the year completing all of the 6th, 7th and 8th grade vocabulary (630 words).  You may ask why I am starting them on 6th grade and having them complete the 7th and 8th -- to answer, studies show a direct link between academic success and vocabulary development. :).

A quick note about homework on the weekends... rarely will I give homework on the weekends.  I understand this is a time for family, for extra curricular activities and also a time to recharge for the upcoming week.  If you feel adamant that your child do work on the weekend, they can always log on to mobymax and get more practice work there.


STUDENTS:

You do not have homework this weekend unless you did not complete your Lesson 2 math homework.
