Happy Friday,

Happy end of the 2nd trimester!!  Just a reminder that your child will be starting a new elective class beginning on Monday.   

Final grades are due on Monday as well.  To be honest, I am finding it difficult as far as grades for Reading/Literature.  There were approximately 8 students in each core classroom who did not reach their AR goal (a couple of students had 0 points.)  I think it is a shame to give an 11 or 12 year old a D or an F in 6th grade, but when the student doesn’t do the required work, what is the right answer?  Unfortunately, there are many, many students who have admitted to me that they are not doing the nightly reading and/or not reading on the weekends.  So, I want to make it clear that daily reading is a requirement in Language Arts.  It is part of the nightly homework and needs to be completed.  I would certainly appreciate whatever you can do at home to support your child in reading every day.  Remember, too, that they are not too old to be read to, or to have them read to you.  If your child is struggling with finding a book, please ask them to come see me.
