September 20, 2013

No Homework on the weekends unless reading needs to be done for reading logs!
Today's Highlights:
Ms. Bailey, our school counselor, (while Mrs. Sargent is on maternity leave) visited us today. She will be in for guidance lessons every Friday.  She is working with the students on how to manage stress.  We officially started our Tolerance, Kindness, and Acceptance unit today.  We have 4 groups reading the 4 books in the picture.  All books share a theme of our unit title. We will work in book groups and discussion groups to compare examples of kindness, tolerance, and acceptance.  Today was our first middle school reward day.  Every month we will take the end of one Friday and have activities for the students whom are caught up on their work and consistently do their homework.
Reminders: No school on September 30th due to teacher in-service.  Student led conferences on October 15th, 16th, and 17th.  These are after school and evening.  NECAP testing is the first 2 weeks of October.  We test on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
Thank You!!!! For such a great turn out last night for open house.  It was great to meet all the families and eat the apple crisp the students made.  Due to running out of apple crisp, we will be making another pan of it next week so all of us can enjoy some!
