Kemp - Brazile

Parents -

The big trip is almost here. We leave for Rock Eagle Wednesday. Those not going will complete activities with a teacher here at school. I'll have the information for which teacher tomorrow.

Those going on the trip should have the information they need. If not, it's on our webpage, under "Class Links." 

Students should all be at the classroom by 7:10am. We will leave the school by 7:30am. Bring all luggage to the classroom and line it up neatly on the wall outside of our classroom. Once our bus gets here, the kids will carry their luggage to the bus. 

I'll update our website about the trip on the "Rock Eagle" page. I will use our text reminders to let you know when we're arriving back at school on Friday. 

Friday, please do not arrive at the bus port before 2:25. We are scheduled to arrive at 2:30, after the regular school buses leave. Any kids not picked up by 3:00 will placed in ASP and will be charged accordingly.

Remember to send any medication with the proper form completed. Even if they might need something for a headache, we can't give it unless they have sent it in and a form is completed.

Kids can bring a snack for each day. I'll collect them when they arrive Wednesday. The snacks should be in a sealed bag with their name visible. We will keep these in our common area, no snacks or drinks will be allowed in the cabins. We will not have access to a refrigerator. Please send only water for drinks.

There a no electronics allowed, including phones. I know many use their phones for cameras, but we can not allow them. They will not get reception in most places at Rock Eagle anyhow. 

The kids will be busy all day. There will be a break for snacks and to visit the snack bar/souvenir shop. Any money sent should be secured and is completely their responsibility. 

If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Thanks,
Shane Brazile

Kemp - Brazile 4/21

Parents-

I'm attaching a letter referencing the career project that your 5th grader will start tomorrow. In a nutshell, it's saying that every year we have a lot of kids wanting to research being a pro athlete. The point of the project is for kids to identify the training and experienced needed for a profession and many times this is lost on those researching athletes. The note says to let me know if you want them studying athletes. I don't really need a note myself, but just remind your student to focus on the hard work and dedication needed for those professions.

 

Thanks,

Shane Brazile

Kemp - Brazile

Parents - 

We've made it through testing! Everyone survived and we made it through relatively unscathed.

Contrary to what the kids think, I will continue to teach, they'll continue to work, and school will go on.

We're still working on our Instructional Videos. Next week, we have one more video and Rock Eagle. Information went home about the trip. If you don't have the info sheet, I'll get you a copy.

Thanks,
Shane Brazile

We made it through the first week of testing. The toughest part is out of the way. We'll have Science and Social Studies on Monday and Tuesday. 

Enjoy the weekend!

Testing - Kemp

Parents-

Our first day of testing went well. Everyone was able to complete the Reading sections without issues. Tomorrow, we take on the Language Arts section. I know they're all looking forward to it (it has more writing involved). Friday will be Math, followed by Science and Social Studies the next week.

Make sure they're resting so we see their best effort each day. 

Thanks!
Shane Brazile

Testing - Kemp

Parents-

Testing has finally arrived! The kids have practiced quite a bit so they're familiar with how it works on the computers. Should be second nature now. They've seen all the material and I feel like they're ready. I just need their best effort. 

We start in the morning around 8 and most days it will last about 2 hours. Actual test time hovers around 70-90 minutes. They'll break in between sections for a bathroom break and stretch. We should finish each day by 10:30-11:00. Our specials time is 1:35-2:00 during testing week. They need to be rested each day. Thanks!

The kids seemed very surprised to find out that we'll continue to work from now until the end of the year. They have Social Studies and Science projects - the Instructional Videos. They'll research a standard and create their own educational movie. They're working on Social Studies this week and Science next week. We'll look at introduction to 6th grade standards after that. In Reading, we're continuing with Pictures of Hollis Woods. In Math, it's review and preview for 6th. I'll only test them on 5th grade skills, though.

Remind them how effort is the key with this testing thing (and life). 

Thanks!
Shane Brazile
