Greetings Families, I wanted to let you know that I was returning some assessments today. You will see that the class averages are not very good. This is likely because students are not engaged in the lessons well and they are not studying their notes nightly like I have asked them to do. These are skills that they should develop in fourth grade. Your support is likely necessary for many of them because the likely lack the discipline to study each night. If you would, taking time once a week to review their notes with them to see if they know the answers will do a lot of good. If you are quizzing them at home, they will know they are not only responsible to me for knowing the content but to you as well. This will do even more to encourage them to be engaged in the lessons during class and to make good use of their notes at home. Thank you for your support.

Greetings Families, I hope everyone is doing well. I've spent some time reviewing data from the MAP testing that the students took this week and from the progress students are making on Khan Academy. I am hoping that with this data and with what the students are producing in class, I will be able to identify what needs are present and how to best support their learning. There are two important events coming up that I want to remind you of. Curriculum Night Curriculum Night is this Wednesday. Some of you have already told me that you won't be able to make it, but if you have that evening open I think you will find it time well spent. Please remember this is an adult only evening. Here is the schedule: Curriculum Night Schedule 6:00-6:15     Welcome and opening remarks by Mr. Gillingham, Ms. Pantalena, and Mrs. Mason                      A-L  ...
