Howdy! Well it was a GREAT day!!!!!!
Ok, it was not an all around great day, but behavior was awesome!!!! It was clear that you visited with the kids this weekend. Thank you for that. The not so good part was technology. Our testing for NWEA was a little crazy to say the least. Our computers were all sorts of out of whack, so we got a really late start. Some kids did not finish by lunch. No worries though, I saved the test where they were and tomorrow we will pick back up where they left off. Those that did finish, we will start on our language tests tomorrow. We should be problem free tomorrow! (HOPE, HOPE, HOPE!)
We ended the day with our goodbye celebration for Miss. Emily. We sure will miss her and her brother Cody at Bitterroot. We wish them well in Pennsylvania!!!! Keep in touch!
The math quizzes last Friday did not go over so well, so we did each problem together and re-quizzed. Their grade stands, but I am hoping that they have better ones this round. Many of them are just getting some of the vocabulary words mixed up, so they are doing the wrong skill. Those that got a D or an F had to come check in with me after each problem before they could go onto the next one. I was able to really explain some things so they would not do the same thing again.
We started our regular Rusty shows today. He talked about homework. He drilled it home again by saying that homework was practice and practice makes skills easier. It was perfect for today.
Speaking of homework, your child has Review #5 today. Please feel free to check over this and have kids redo questions. We grade them in class together.
Thanks to all of you for sending in your two donated bags of non-chocolate candy for our Saturday Live Booth. Kids love earning the $100 per bag. If you have yet to send some in, no worries, you have till next week. Awesome!
Have a great night!!!!!
