I hope everyone had a good weekend and found a way to stay warm and stay healthy. There is a variety of illnesses floating around and it seemed to hit a few of our classmates at the end of last week and again today.
Today I once again reviewed the student goals that each student set during our fall parent conference. I asked them to think about their goal and how they have progressed with it. I then assigned each student with the task of writing a reflection on their goal. I explained that these reflections would be included in the narrative that I write for the report card. Although I can't take credit for this idea, Ms. Hale, Mrs. Belknap, and a colleague from Waterbury get that, I do think it is a great way to reinforce the importance of each goal, validate the time spent with them during conferences, and create a personal ownership of the report card for each student. I look forward to sharing these with you in a few weeks.Field Trip Reminder. As I mentioned in last week's blog, we will be headed to Burlington on Friday. We will be leaving around 8:15. I ask that the kids eat a good breakfast since we will be leaving before snack time. The kids can pack a snack for the afternoon, once we are back at school. We will be back in time for lunch and a bagged lunch is not required.
NOTES:
*Please send in your child's homework bag each day.
*Winter sports program is planned for this Wednesday. Last week, I did not send home reading homework on this day. I thought they could use the break the 1st week back, but will send reading this week. Please let me know if it prevents any issues.
