Progress Reports

It is hard to believe that it is already the middle of the second quarter! Progress reports will be sent home on Tuesday, November 15th, for children who are making limited or minimum progress on one or more of the standards in Reading, Writing, Math or Learning Skills and Behaviors. This report is to keep you informed of your child's progress and will also give you some ideas of things you can do at home to help your child grow in his/her problem area. Areas of concern will be the only areas marked, and that should make it easier for you to zone in on those specific areas.

If you do not receive a progress report it is because your child is making progress toward meeting the standards or is already meeting them.

As we have the second half of the quarter still available for learning and practice at school and at home we can look forward to growth. We can accomplish so much working together! Thank you for sharing your wonderful children with me!

It’s time for Keheley’s annual Children’s Book Exchange!

Do you have some good books at home that you’re finished reading? Would you like to trade those books for someone else’s gently-used books? You’ll be able to do that SOON in the media center! Here’s what to do:

1) Find a few books at home that you want to trade. Children’s books only, please! (Remember to get a parent’s permission.)

2) Bring them to the media center any day before Nov. 11. You’ll get a coupon. You may bring as many books as you want, but coupons can be used for no more than ten books. Note: if you bring picture books, you will choose picture books. Bring chapter books, choose chapter books.

3) Don’t lose your coupon!

4) Bring your coupon to the media center on Wednesday, Nov. 11 (grades K, 1 & 2) or Thursday, Nov. 12 (grades 3,4 & 5). Listen to KNN for times.

5) Choose some “new” books to take home.

Happy Reading!

Pinocchio

Dear Parents,
We will be going to the Cobb County Civic Center this Wednesday for a presentation of Pinocchio, by the Georgia Ballet. I have received permission slips for everyone, so we are all good to go. We will be eating lunch at school at 10:15. We will be out of the building from 10:45-1:45. The children are very excited about their trip. We have been reading the big book, Putting on a Play, so they are ready to experience one.

Wonderful Conferences

It was wonderful getting to meet all of you during conference week. It was so helpful to look back at the first quarter and to set goals for the second quarter. As your children, you and I all work toward those goals we will accomplish so much. Thank you for coming in and for sharing your thoughts and hearts with me. Together we can!
