Quick Reminders

I have a couple of quick reminders and some info for you.

First of all, please remember to have your students get their missing assignments turned in. If your student is still missing their Personal Narrative, that must be turned in tomorrow or it will become a 0. They need to turn in a rewritten draft to me to be graded.Remember, assignments will receive a 0 after 2 weeks of being missing. 

Second, students can retake or redo their Language Arts or Math tests if they are unhappy with their score. If they retake it, they can get up to an 80% on their retake. For their Language Arts test, they can redo the questions they  missed and turn it back into me if they wish. For their latest Math test, I will be reteaching everyone since our class average on the test was a 56%. After we have reviewed everything, I will let students take a retake version of the test that they can get up to 80% on to improve their grade.

Next, students have a test in Science tomorrow. Students made a study guide yesterday in science to study from for the test. Part of their homework tonight is studying for that test. Please help your students study for this test!

Also, to help students with their Language Arts tests, I will be posting the week's vocabulary words on my blog. Each week we have 5 new vocabulary words that students are tested on each time we take a Language Arts test. We review these words in class, but since many students bombed our last Language Arts test because they didn't know the vocabulary words, I thought that I would post them so that you can help your student review them as well. So if you can, please review the week's vocabulary words with your student to reinforce their meanings before students get tested on them.

Lastly, please make sure you sign up for Parent Teacher Conferences for next week, preferably by tomorrow! You can go to the school's website to sign up or call the school and they can help you sign up. If you can't make it next week, please email me so we can set up another time that will work.
