Daily Work Log ( mandatory )

Hello,

The intermediate grade level team has implemented a daily work log for all students. This work log is required to be taken home daily, in order to provide students and their parents a tangible reminder of what assignments are due the following day. This log also provides information as to what assignments have been returned during the week.
The students are required to have the log signed each Thursday evening, so that it can be returned to the teacher on Friday morning. This log is a great tool for keeping parents informed of their child's school work and most importantly teaches students responsibility.

Home Reading Log

I have implemented a new home reading program. This program requires students to read at home throughout the week., and is scored as follows.     

A = 100 or more minutes per week
B =  91-99 minutes per week
C =  81-90 minutes per week
D =  71-80 minutes per week
F  =  70-0  minutes per week

Each student will receive one reading log per week to document their reading.
This reading log will need to be turned in to me each Thursday in order for the student to\
qualify for their Friday Tiger Time. Any student that scores an " F" on their weekly reading log
will voluntarily relinquish their Tiger Time.

Reminder: We have conferences scheduled from Sept. 21-23rd

I just wanted to remind parents/gaurdians, that we will be having our scheduled conferences next week.
        I have sent home your scheduled conference time with your child.
  I look forward to speaking with you soon.

Open House

I wanted to thank all of the parents that took the time to come visit me in room 29. I enjoyed meeting with all of you. I feel very fortunate to have such a great group of kids in my classes.
Having taught in the public school system has given me a great appreciation for Telesis Academy. My last public school class housed between 32-36 students at all times. This compared to my current 18 students, is outstanding.  Our class can really cover alot more material in a much shorter amount of time. Not to mention that I have the time to assist those that may be having an issue with a skill or assignment. Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or issues that may arise throughout the school year. Your comments and ideas are always appreciated.
