Weekly Reminders: Rooms 20 & 21
Dear Room 20 & 21 Parents,
As the pace begins to pick up toward the end of this first trimester, we've noticed that there are students who are having trouble completing assignments and remembering homework. By this time of the year, we expect students to have certain procedures in place for recording and remembering homework. We are working with the students at school on strategies to help them organize themselves and their homework and we discuss prioritizing and time management. They may also need some gentle reminders at home and a little bit of supervision and assistance with making sure that tasks are getting completed and that their time at home is managed well. We'd appreciate your help in this area so that we can all work on having each child be successful. Remember to please let us know if you have any questions regarding the homework procedures and policy. Thank you in advance for your help.
Thank you to the parents who attended our NASA field trip with us last week. The trip was lots of fun and VERY educational. We were also given a "goodie bag" at the end of the trip that included paper models and bookmarks with cool interactive websites on them.
Today, we had our first literature circle meetings. Thank you to the parents who have volunteered and have given up valuable time to help us out. It makes a huge difference in our ability to see what is going on in each group. You are our "eyes" and "ears".
Math Olympiads Parent Volunteers:
We would like to thank all parents who’ve signed up to help out with Math Olympiads this year. We have formed three teams, and three parents per team have been chosen as volunteers. We have contacted all volunteers via email already. The first contest will take place on Tuesday, November 16th during school hours.
As you are now aware, our Reminders are now linked to our website, so that you can access all of this information each Monday. Go to the Portal Website (https://sites.google.com/a/cusdschools.org/murdock-portal) and click on 4-5 Villages and then Rockhoppers Rooms 20 and 21. Weekly Reminders will be on the left side.
For the immediate future, reminders will also be sent by email, and they are posted on our blog as well.
