Happy halfway mark through Term 2!    
 
Progress Report Info:  Please note that this is NOT the official report card, and that your student can choose to improve any grade with which he/she is dissatisfied.  Here are some reminders as to how they can accomplish this:
*On all tests, students can receive half the points back if they clearly show their new work and/or explanations
*On all math homework quizzes, students can receive full points back if they clearly show their new work and explanations
*For grammar assignments like Mountain Language, students should be using their resources and double-checking during independent study so they don’t miss as many problems. 
*For many other assignments, some students are missing questions just out of carelessness or lack of attention to details.  I try to remind them to do their best work as often as possible, but reminders from home would help as well! 
Also, here are two notes to help you understand the progress report:
1) Please remember that the grade that says Participation under Math is where we put students’ math homework. 
2) If you see a ZERO for a given assignment, that means the student has not turned it in, or didn’t put his/her name on it.  
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Homework for today:
  1. Math: none
  2. Read 20 minutes!
  3. Hypothesis due Tuesday. 

Events:
*Toys and Clothing Drive: Nov. 21st to Dec. 19th Kindergarten is collecting toys and clothing to send to children in Uganda.  Any simple toys (non-battery powered or electronic) or children's clothing will be very much appreciated!  Drop off will be at the front office.
 *Canned Food Drive:We ended up getting over 2,000 cans!  4th Grade won the root beer float party!
Have a great weekend!
