Homework
I know a lot of you have been asking if I give homework. The answer is yes. In some cases, papers have already been coming home. Please make sure to check your student's home folder for unfinished school papers. Official homework will start coming home in the next few weeks. In the meantime, remember there is 25 minutes a night of reading required and practice the spelling words several nights, even if it is just for 5 minutes.
Agendas
Remember to be asking to see agendas every night. Our agendas are an organizational tool, as well as a tool to teach responsibility. Every day, at the end of the school day, we fill out what we accomplished. If you see a star next to the assignment, it means there is paperwork associated with assignment, that needed to be turned in. In 6th - 10th grade, agendas are required and used as part of a grade. In 5th grade, we are just practicing. Students earn class cash for having their agenda signed by a parent.
Grades
I was a little late this last week getting grades into the grade book. I spent the weekend grading and have some grades posted. If you are interested in seeing how your student is doing, please login to your Parent Portal account. If you don't know how or forgot your previous password, please contact Amy Bowers at amybowers@visioncsd.org for your information.
Deeds to the Desk Awards
Part of my Classroom Economy is based off of real life. Just like working to earn a living, renting or owning a home, 5th grade has jobs that pay, as well as bills. Pictured below are the students that managed to save enough money to purchase their desks, so they don't have to pay rent the rest of the year.
