That joyful time of year has finally come around for both students and teachers alike...Wait! It's not Christmas Holidays yet, it's Report Card Day! My Bad!
Today we started off the morning we a great AR period! Tons of students were taking tests and are wrapping up some great books. Once we transititioned to ELA, the students got out their work from Monday and continued to read the story, "The Killers Tall Tale". They answered questions that dealt with before, during and after reading the story. (This assignment will be due on Monday, December 3rd) We also took the last 10 minutes of class to read the short book, "Muhammad Ali, The Peoples Champ" together as a group reading activity.
In Grade 8 Math, we quickly reviewed how to find the percent of a number before the students got to work on their 4.3 handout. (Note: This assignment will be due on Monday, December 3rd)
After Lunch we started our Unit on Advent in Religion by examing the theme of the first week of Advent, Hope. Students have been assigned Blogging Reflection questions and will have time to work on them in class tomorrow. Parents, if you would like to see your childs blogging responses please visit http://kidblog.org/TheBrescianiBunch/ and have your student log in using their username and password. (You will not be able to view their posts otherwise because it privacy protected website) At 1:15, Mr. Csada came to teach the students Science and the students were assigned "Check Your Progress" questions on Pg. 123 (#1-4) and on Pg. 130 (2-3). Mr. Csada has not posted a due date yet, but I will update with one the minute he does.
During the last hour of the day the students continued to work on their amazing Social Justice drawing projects in Arts. Ed.
Note about Report Cards:
I have attempted to pack them with as much detail as I could. Besides the report card you will also receive a spread-sheet of all of the assignments and tests that I gave to your daughter / son for every class that I taught to them. In addition, you will see a class average and your daughter’s / son’s individual average. I would suggest using this as a comparative tool when examining how well or how much improvement your daughter / son did or needs to show on a go-forward basis rather than looking at the individual class grade alone. It is a useful method to start a discussion about what is working well and / or what improvements need to be under-taken in order to maximize their learning potential in each and every class. I will also be sending home these spread-sheets on a bi-weekly basis for the remainder of the year. If an assignment is blank then they have not handed it in (the students) and you can help ensure that they get their work in a more timely manner. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss each student’s progress and to help ensure that the academic plan that we have for each and every student is the right one for them. Please remember too that if you cannot meet with me on the scheduled dates or if you feel that you need more time I am always willing to make myself available before or after school on any given day.
