Spring Fever Warning!

Parents – Many of the papers and worksheets I have been grading from the past few weeks are showing a decline in grades. Please remind your student that they need to keep working as hard as they can until the end of the school year.

For example in Language Arts, all of the mini-lessons on grammar, sentence structure, and writing skills should be coming together for their work, and showing their knowledge (not filled with mistakes we had lessons on). Additionally, when we are answering questions based on Social Studies reading, most answers should be found directly in the text – NOT created by the students. Lastly, they need to double check their work for quality – correct spelling (especially when the words are right there in the text), proper punctuation, and capitalization.

The students have learned a great deal this year, and – for the most part – have worked VERY hard. It would be extremely disappointing for their grades to decline now because of “Spring Fever.”

Thank you for your assistance and support with this.
