Hi,

Just wanted to let your know that your child has been working hard, and they seem to miss those summer days! We completed our Fall NWEA testing and will go over the results at Parent Teacher Conferences. Some of you were unable to make it to Open House so I’ll send you a time slot and you can let me know if it works for you. Over these past two weeks we have been working on following directions, creating rules, and practicing routines. When students return we will begin the PBIS color system for behavior. Your child will be marking their color on their reading/behavior log.  Please sign it nightly. We will only be using the behavior section of it next week.  The following week we will begin keeping track of their reading minutes. You will have to write the title of the book read and the minutes read (many of them are good at printing and can fill it out themselves, you will just have to sign it. Green is a great day. Yellow they had a warning, Orange they haven’t fixed their behavior yet, and Red, they are having a rough day. If a student is on red they have to fill out a form and it will be sent home and signed. Depending on why they got to red, you may also receive a phone from me. I’m going to be changing spelling homework, instead of a tic- tac- toe students will receive a worksheet on Monday (due Tue.), one on Tuesday (due Wed) and one on Wednesday (due Thur.), and Thursday they should take a practice spelling test.

It was nice meeting everyone at Open House and don’t forget we have the rest of this week off. Eid Mubarak!

Have a Great Night,

Mrs. Kearney
