Benchmark #3

We are benchmarking this week for the third and final time. I really take pride in watching these kids grow throughout the year, so I've taught them to look at the comparison between the beginning and end of the year scores. Ask your child how he/she scored and encourage him/her to always look at the missed problems. Orchard shows them the right answer, and I make myself available to help anyone who doesn't understand. They need to learn the value of learning from their mistakes.

For encouragement, I have offered the following:
Each individual who scores 75% or above earns a pizza party.
Raise score 10% for a piece of candy.
Students will also get a grade in the grade book for this benchmark.

Progress reports went home today. If you want more detailed information, please check your child's parent portal account or let me know if you do not have access to the Internet. I'll be happy to print a grade report for your child. Please sign these and return them tomorrow.

Box Tops Due Feb. 5



Parents,

Please send Box Tops to school by Feb 5. These should be turned into your child's homeroom teacher. If you've already sent them, THANK YOU! We make quite a bit of money collecting these every year, and use those funds to supplement our technology and other instructional needs.
