Kemp - Brazile 11/22

Parents-

 

Our week is just about over as I write this, at least academically it is. I hope everyone enjoys the Thanksgiving break. Please be careful if you travel.

 

The kids finished up their units before the holiday and overall their performance was great. Grades are updated except for spelling and Reading Logs.

 

We finished The Giver. Can’t believe how well they did with this book, making connections and inferences I haven’t seen many kids make. We’ll begin the next book in the series after the break. I ask that they don’t read ahead because we cover certain skills with each section and if they read ahead, it sort of throws a kink in it all. Ask them about the book, you’ll be impressed with their take on it.

 

On Wednesday, the kids brought home their progress reports. The grades are also online through ParentVue. Please understand that we consider any student with a C average or lower to be “in danger” of not passing. If there is a zero, they need to complete the assignment and get it in. We’ll have time after the break to improve averages and enhance their understanding. Also, there are opportunities for extra credit through the production of instructional videos. Must be less than 2 minutes, clear and concise.

 

Also on Wednesday, there was a printout for the kids’ Iowa test results. Gives some ideas how their scores compare nationally, as well as areas they could improve.

 

Have a great Thanksgiving and ROLL TIDE!! (A little extra emphasis for the upcoming Iron Bowl against Aubu…I can’t even finish typing that name this week!)
