Welcome back!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful break from the school routine and was able to enjoy the beautiful weather outside. We have a few things coming up this week and some important dates to keep in mind. This week: Your child will be bringing home a Spring Conference letter Monday about Parent Teacher conferences. Those conferences will be held on Tuesday March 27. Every student will bring home a letter but I will only be requesting a conference with some of you for the spring. Some parents I have been in recent contact with and so it will not be necessary to meet again. If I do not mark your childs sheet as needing to set up a conference but you would still like to meet please let me know and I will be more than happy to sit down with you or schedule a conference over the phone. We will be having an intruder drill this week to walk through with students what actions we would take should our building be placed in lock down for any reason. Feel free to discuss this upcoming activity with your student. Willard East Skate Night is this Thursday night 3/22 from 6-8PM at Skateland. Please come out and join in the fun with other families and staff members from Willard East. Tiger Pride Assembly is Friday 3/23 at 2:30. Parents and family members are always welcome to come and join us in the gym. Math: We will look at a short unit on line plots and analyzing data. This is a short unit so I am hoping to wrap it up with the assessment on Friday. Writing: We are starting figurative language this week and will be learning how to interpret it in our text but also how to write it. Reading: We are going to be going deeper in text and looking for symbolism and theme. The things the author shows us in our text but doesn't always tell us. We are also going to start a money economy for 4th quarter. Students will be paid daily if they are present for the entire day. They will owe rent weekly and then have the risk of incurring fines for inappropriate behavior, late work, missing assignments, etc. At the end of the year we will have a class auction where the kids are able to spend the money that they have earned and saved. I will be giving them a list of fines so they are aware prior to starting this week. So I will not be focusing on DOJO for positive and negative points for 4th quarter. It will strictly be used for communication with you. If behavior issues arise I may make note of that on DOJO for you, so that you are aware of fines that occurred. Please feel free to message me with any questions about this new process. I think the kids will really enjoy this. Whew! That was a lot of information. Enjoy your last day of break!
