Just a gentle reminder that we have started conferences this week to discuss your child's progress during the 3rd marking period. If you have not yet signed up for a conference, please do so as soon as possible so we can coordinate the best times for you to come in. As we prepare for MAP, SRI, and GMAS assessments, we appreciate the opportunity to talk with you about getting your child ready for these tests.
Due to conferences, there will be NO TUTORIAL this week for Mr. Trent or Ms. Susan.
Please be sure you have secured a copy of The Outsiders for your child. We will be reading Chapters 2 - 4 this week.
Also, please be aware that we have a new date to add to our calendars: Saturday, April 9th. It is the 2nd annual Family Involvement Day and will take place at the School of Liberal Studies at Savannah High School from 9am - 2pm. It is a day of fun and learning where parents can learn more about helping their children academically as well as with community service projects. This event is FREE and offers child care, food, and blood pressure checks. There will be information sessions about the GMAS as well as test-taking strategies.
A few needs for our classrooms:
If you have a gently used vacuum cleaner that you could donate, the 6th grade would be eternally grateful. We LOVE our new reading area and even got more new things in today - I'll try to get some pictures posted soon!! But, we are finding that the carpet needs to be taken care of daily.
We are also in need of wipes, plastic-ware (forks, spoons, etc), hand sanitizer, pencils and erasers. If you are able to help us out, please know it is greatly appreciated Thank you in advance!! I wish I could tell you where all of these pencils and erasers go; it is almost as if they are the lost sock in the washing machine! Thank you for all of your help and support.
