There seems to be a little confusion regarding the February monthly project. I have explained to the students that I would like them to write a newspaper article on a current event. The students know that they can either type it or hand write it. I sent home a piece of newsprint paper for them to use if they choose to. They do not HAVE to use this paper if they do not want to. The article should be set up in columns with a large heading. I would like it to look like a newspaper article. They can also include pictures if they would like. They must give credit to the source in which they get their information. If you have any questions, please email me and I will promptly return your email.
Our magazine drive is an ongoing fundraising event. Subscriptions may be purchased throughout the year under the St. Rose account. To order simply log onto www.QSP.com , find St. Rose of Lima, and plug inour account number which is 1091410.
Engrade is up and running. You can view you child's grades using the code that Mrs. Henchy sent home. If you see an "M" as a grade, that means that your child is missing an assignment. That M gets factored in as a zero. With both of us on their tails for the assignment, me at school and you at home, we should be successful. They will however, lose points for being late. You may notice grades coming home without the assignment attached to it. This is because I am saving them to put into a portfolio at the end of the year. You will have hours of reading enjoyment in June. :)
Our weekly schedule looks like this: Mon. - Library
Tues. - Spanish and music
Wed. - Computer and Gym with 4A
Thurs. - Gym alone
Fri. - Art
Spelling tests will be on Friday's unless otherwise specified. We will also have weekly reading tests on Friday's. These tests are designed to make sure students have learned the reading concepts for the week. These tests consist of a series of language arts questions and a writing prompt. I will send the student evaluation sheet home for you to view. I will keep the tests for my files.
My help sessions will be held Thursday's after school from 2 - 2:30. This time is for any student who is in need of extra support with concepts we are learning in the classroom. A student can come as often as needed.
God Bless,
Mrs. Wildenhain
