Graded Work, Infinite Campus, and Reminders for Tomorrow

Things your student is responsible TOMORROW, Friday the 9th:
-          Reading/Noun Homework packet
-          Math workbook pages 6-10
-          Reading Log (only 3 nights required because no school on Monday)
-          Library books to return or re-check out
-          Studying for spelling, vocabulary, and morning work tests tomorrow

Graded work went home TODAY!
Coming home in the student orange folder should be the following:
-          Morning Work Test 3
-          Spelling Test
-          Reading Log
-          Reading and Social Studies Homework with the Math Homework Grade also written on it
-          4 Morning Works with “Week 3” at the top
-          Spelling sort on notebook paper
-          Plant lifecycle cut and paste with descriptions
The vocabulary tests are now taken on the clickers, so those grades will have to be entered into Infinite Campus.
Remember, reading and math homework receive one “glow” comment (what the student did well) and one “growth” comment (what will help the student grow as a learner). I put a lot of time and thought into these comments because I want each student to accomplish amazing progress this yearJ

Infinite Campus is still giving me troubleL I hope to meet with Polly Cox soon to get it straightened out but am afraid it will be next Monday or Tuesday before that is possible. As soon as I get it set up, I will enter grades, and then send home a copy of your student’s current grades in each subject. That WILL go home next week.
