NO HOMEWORK for next week!
Half Day on Wednesday, Oct. 19 (Dismissal at 11:30)
NO School on Thursday (10/20) and Friday (10/21)
REPORT CARDS: Report Cards can now be viewed electronically. You can locate your child's report card on PowerSchool. I have learned that the best way to view the report card is on a desktop/laptop. A phone's view will only allow you to see the number scores, but does not show you the comments.
In 4th grade, your child will receive a letter grade for math, Bible, and spelling. These grades are based on tests taken throughout the quarter. We also use a number (1, 2, 3) grading scale.
As a teacher, these are how I view each number.
1 - Needs lots of support and is an area of concern. This is a skill we will continue to work on.
2 - Not quite mastery, but is able to use the skill independently with some help/support.
3 - Mastery of the skill. They do not need help or support. They are able to do this skill independently.
GRANDPARENTS/FRIENDS DAY: We will be welcoming our Grandparents and friends into our building on Thursday, Oct. 27. This day can be so exciting for many, but it also can be a hard day for some. Please let me know if your child will not have a special visitor coming to Rose Park. I would love to help make arrangements or brainstorm ways as to how I can help :) Thank you!
MUSIC NOTE FROM MRS. BOER: We have begun learning how to play recorders! This past week we talked about how little a breath we need to play a recorder to make a pleasant sound. Parent's and dog's ears should not be hurting when we play! We also learned about playing with our left hand on top, nearest our mouth. Perhaps your child has told you about the folders they received in music class. These are to go back and forth between home and school along with your child's recorder on the day of music class. A homework sheet was sent home to be completed by your child and a few lines of music that they can begin to practice.
A Note From Our Parent Board: 😀 Help Wanted 😀
