We have been so busy at school and are already on the down hill slide of our third week. OH MY HECK where has the time gone? Progress Reports will be going home on Friday so make sure that you ask you child for their report. Also, don't forget that you can check VSI at all times to see your student's grades as well.
I will be having tutorials Thursday afternoon and staying as long as needed so feel free to have your student stay. I apologize for not being there today as I had a fall while walking into work and had to be taken to the Urgent Care center in Garland to get it checked out. It turns out to only be a strain on my joints (thankfully).
We have our first Unit test on Thursday (tomorrow) and I am sure that everyone will do great. I am also doing a binder check and looking for the 3 handouts that have been given so far (multiplication chart, operation rules and coordinate graph foldable). If your student has all 3 it is an EASY 100! 2/3= 67 1/3= 34 and 0/3= 0. I take two binder grades a 6 weeks so these are easy for your student to be able to keep up with.
Also I am taking a composition notebook grade. These grades are for extra credit on their test. I will take them up EVERY time we have a test and put the grade in the comp book. If you haven't seen your students grade sheet in their binder yet, take a look at it as it is where all their grades are kept (followed by their graded papers). They should always be in there.
I'm hoping to get a lot of stuff graded this weekend and back to you so that we can start doing corrections and have even more updated grades. Remember that my tutorial times are Tuesday and Thursday after school. I am there until 4:30 pm on those two days.
Student Council Announcement: Our first meeting is September 13th from 3:30-4:15 pm. We will meet in room 316 and be voting that day for our officers. We have a big leadership conference coming up that ALL officers will be attending on October 2nd in Corinth, TX. More details to come on that after officers are elected.
