Parents,
I hope you all are having a great week. Communication has been tricky due to the internet issues at school, so I apologize if it is taking longer to get back with you. Here is the latest class news....
*Progress Reports: 1st grade will not be sending home progress reports tomorrow. Instead, you will be given their most recent testing data. This data is being used to help guide classroom instruction and should not be a cause for alarm. Please let me know if you have any questions. :)
*Grades: I am just now at a point where I feel comfortable taking grades. I try not to rush it at the beginning of 1st grade because it takes awhile for the students to adjust to new routines and expectations. With that being said, I would not use grades as the main indicator of how your child is doing in class. We are required to give retakes on anything below a 70, which can often inflate grades. I would pay close attention to anything that is being posted in Seesaw. This will let you know how they are performing on 1st grade skills before I have intervened. It is also a great way to see if they can explain what they were supposed to do on that assignment.
*Jersey Day: This Friday is football/sports day at PPE. Students are encouraged to wear their sports gear tops and SSA bottoms to school. Bonus points will be give if your child comes in with UK or Chicago Cubs gear. Points will most certainly be deducted if they come in wearing Duke or Milwaukee gear!
Happy Wednesday!
