Parents,
This is generally the week when the idea sets in that the school year is really here and we are now deep in the thick of things. I appreciate any and all support you can give your child, but they really should come home with the knowledge needed to complete everything. If they really don't know, ask them how they are listening in class. How are they sitting while I teach? Do they ask for help as they are working? Do they get caught up in talking as they work? Talk to them calmly about your expectations. Minimal help should be needed at home with the actual work, it is the time and materials management that they need you to talk them through and help them set up. Where is homework done? WHere should notes or tests go to be signed? Does your child have to have the backpack filled at night with the assignment notebook and Pendafile? When do you think your child is logging their reading? Is this something you are checking? Taking time in 5th grade to develop some good work habits will make your life SO MUCH EASIER when middle school and high school roll around. Thank you for giving your time to do this so our time in class can be focused on learning and practicing skills.
