Hello, Parents!
Thank you for your patience and understanding. I have been absent due to family circumstances. I will return on Tuesday, December 3rd. I will update the grade book during this break, so feel free to look at Parent Connect on Monday or early next week. Please take this time off from school to spend quality time with your students. There will be no homework, but if you want something to do, students can read, do Lexia, or Imagine Math. Here are some announcements for the next trimester: Students need to wear their ID Cards and DOG Tags every day, but they are allowed to keep them at school. This protocol is essential since Maltby is so big that if all students have their cards and tags on them, we can identify them in passing times. AR: Students will try to meet their goal of 15 AR points for the 2nd Trimester. The AR Test can only be taken at school. Students will also get an AR Comprehension grade, which should be between 80% and 100%. Late/Absent Work: Students will have homework, and they will have absent work if they are not at school. All homework is written in the planner, and we put our daily work agenda on Google Classroom. If you have yet to go onto Google Classroom, please do so soon so you know what is happening in class. I take 10% off for students who turn in late work since it is not turned in on time. Also, for absent work, students have as many days as they were absent plus one day to complete it. For example, if your student is absent on Monday and returns to school on Tuesday, their absent work will be due on Thursday. Planners: Please sign the planner every day! Math: We will start Unit 3 when we come back for Thanksgiving! I have included the Family Letter for the unit and the answers to the home links in our Google Classroom. Also, if your student is absent, all the lesson videos are on Google Classroom. Reading/Writing: When we return from break, we will finish our Figurative Language Unit. Students will have class work, which is all on Google Classroom. AR: Students also work on reading for AR every day. From now on, students will take their reading binder home and to school every day. Students are also working on Power Up (Lexia) and reading for AR points. Science: We will be starting our next Unit: Go With The Flow on Tuesday! Social Studies: Students are learning about the Bills of Rights. Homework: Enjoy Family Time and try to do some reading if possible! Parent to-do list:
If you have any questions, then please email me at [email protected]. I hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving Break and a Thanksgiving! I am so grateful for all my families and students this year. The students had a great first trimester and I am looking forward to the 2nd trimester! Mrs. Orrico
