It was a great day in room 204. This morning we worked so hard in our book clubs reading and discussion the events. This afternoon, we focused on science and grammar. We also learned about the value of setting academic and personal goals. Please look for a letter tonight detailing the 3/4 goal setting process. In addition to deciding on goals, we talked about the importance of a plan of action for accomplishing this goal. Finally, you will decide on a “celebration” that will take place when the goals are met. Once the goal setting form has been completed at home, please return it to school with a parent signature. Goal setting is due Monday, November 14th.
Fall conferences will be held on November 16th and 17th. The sign-up sheet is posted outside of our classroom. If you would like for me to sign you up for a conference, please send me an email with the approximate time and day that works best for you. I understand that may be hard to get into the building for this. I am happy to help!
