Wk 5 September 7-11


Progress Reports

Progress reports were sent home today in your child's binder/ agenda. Please review your child's report. If you have concerns or questions, please contact me via email or phone. We will schedule a conference to discuss your child's performance and what we can do to ensure his or her success.


Students have voiced their concern about our class not using agendas. We decided to put it to a vote today. Students could choose to continue using folders with the homework sheets as we have now or we could begin using our agendas. The vote was 8 in favor of agendas and 6 in favor of keeping folders. One student didn't vote. Therefore, you will begin to see agenda daily. To ensure their durability, I've placed them inside the binders students brought at the beginning of the year. Homework sheets and fluency passages may be found in the front pockets. This will be the last week I do the homework calendar. You child will be responsible for writing down homework assignments each day. I will place graded papers in the rings of the binders. Please remove these graded papers. They are for you to keep at home.

We'll see how the agendas work for us! Wish us luck!

Until next time,

Mrs. Richardson :o)
